Brief Introduction
Zhong-Xian Li is a Chair Professor of civil engineering at Tianjin University of China and the Dean of Key Laboratory of Coast Civil Structure Safety of the Ministry of Education, China. He was jointly trained by Tianjin University and University of Basilicata in Italy and obtained his PhD in 1991 from Tianjin University. He once served as President of Tianjin Chengjian University from November 2010 to March 2022. His research interests are the civil engineering structures and disaster prevention and mitigation, especially the earthquake resistance of building and bridge structures and the blast protection of civil buildings. He developed the world's first Underwater Earthquake Simulation Shaking Table Array System and edited the first Standard for Blast Protection Design of Civil Buildings in China. He has published four books, more than 525 journal papers and won three national science and technology awards.
