Personal statement

Dr. Li is an associate professor in Civil Engineering. His research interest is the progressive collapse prevention of concrete structures. He has hosted five important programs, including one General Research Program and one Youth Program funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, one subproject of the National Key Research and Development Program funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and one Beijing Nova Program funded by Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission. In the past ten years, Dr. Li has completed a series of researches on the progressive collapse prevention of concrete structures, covering the following issues: exploring the mechanism of slab-beam system to resist progressive collapse by innovating the collapse testing technique, developing the high performance numerical models for the progressive collapse analysis of entire structural systems and proposing an energy-based theoretical framework for analyzing the progressive collapse resistance demand by which obtained the analytical solutions of the dynamic amplification factors within the progressive collapse of reinforced concrete frame structures. Those works provided the scientific basis for establishing a scientific, effective and economy practical engineering design method to prevent progressive collapse. He has published an academic book and more than 80 technical papers. 24 of them are published on the SCI-indexed international journals with high impact in the area of civil engineering which have attracted 212 citations from other scholars in SCI Database. 3 of them have been listed as Top 3% Most Cited Papers in the WOS Subject Area in the ESI Database. 43 of them are EI-indexed papers in which 20 papers are published on the Chinese journals with high impact. They have attracted 1667 citations from other scholars in CNKI Database in which 4 papers are selected as Top Academic Papers published on the Chinese Outstanding Journals of Science and Technology. The applicant is a member of the editorial board of the anti-collapse code of building structures.
