Chen Zhaoyuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, passed away. The Republic has given away 17 academicians of the two academies this year

  The list of academicians of the two academies lost in the Republic in 2020 is once again lengthened.

  According to @光明日报, on June 25th, Chen Zhaoyuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an expert in civil engineering and protection engineering, and a professor at Tsinghua University, died in Beijing due to illness.

  Chen Zhaoyuan was born on October 1, 1931 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. He graduated from Tsinghua University in 1952 and stayed in school. He served as the director of the Civil Engineering Department of Tsinghua University, the fourth to seventh executive directors and the seventh deputy director of the Chinese Civil Engineering Society The chairman, the deputy director of the Society of Protection Engineering, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Civil Engineering, and the deputy editor-in-chief of the Journal of Protection Engineering; members of the Second, Third, and Fourth Civil Engineering Discipline Evaluation Group of the State Council Academic Degree Committee were elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1997.

  Chen Zhaoyuan has long been engaged in theoretical and experimental research on the performance and design methods of protective structures under the effects of explosions and impacts, as well as the research on the performance of concrete structures. Many of the achievements have been incorporated into national design codes or used in important projects. In the research and promotion of modern high-strength, high-performance concrete technology Remarkable achievements have also been made in the work of supporting technology of soil nails and preparing corresponding structural design and construction regulations. In recent years, Chen Zhaoyuan has been mainly engaged in the research on the design methods of building structure safety and concrete structure durability. He has prepared a variety of guiding documents such as design codes to extend the service life of civil engineering projects in China. He has written more than 300 papers and research reports. .

  He was awarded the National Young and Middle-aged Experts with Outstanding Contributions (1984), Beijing Advanced Science and Technology Workers (1979), the National Civil Air Defense Commission awarded advanced scientific research workers (1987), the National Defense Science and Technology Commission awarded the honorary medal for devotion to science and technology (1988), etc. honor.

  The Tsinghua University Alumni Association website published an article that introduced Professor Chen Zhaoyuan's three items that he valued most for his research: protection engineering, high-strength and high-performance concrete structures, and the safety and durability of concrete structures. He also said, "The most essential content of the Tsinghua spirit is our school motto "Strive for self-improvement and be virtuous." Another point I have experienced is: Choose your own work and dedicate yourself according to the needs of the country and society."
