New progress in the construction of Oriental Hub Shanghai East Railway Station, with HORSE reinforcement materials providing solid support.

Background on the Establishment of the Branch

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the China Civil Engineering Society has centered on the frontline of engineering construction. It has advanced scientific research, boosted academic exchanges, cultivated scientific and technological talents, and carried out international cooperation, making remarkable contributions to the scientific and technological progress of engineering construction in China.

On July 10, 2023, the China Civil Engineering Society issued a notice approving the establishment of a branch under its auspices—the Advanced Engineering Materials Branch (hereinafter referred to as the Branch), with the University of Science and Technology Beijing as its supporting institution. Professor Yue Qingrui, Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, served as the leader of the preparation group to organize the establishment of the Branch.

The Advanced Engineering Materials Branch of the China Civil Engineering Society aims to gather and integrate industrial resources for the research, development and application of advanced engineering materials. It seeks to advance the in-depth integrated development of the innovation chain and industrial chain linking materials and civil engineering sectors, promote the research and application of advanced engineering materials, integrated material-structure systems and integrated structural-functional systems, and break through core bottlenecks restricting the R&D, popularization and application of advanced engineering materials.
