Laboratory management of School of Civil Engineering, Wuhan University

The Civil Engineering Experiment Center is a professional teaching experiment and scientific research experiment center for the civil engineering discipline of the School of Civil and Architectural Engineering of Wuhan University. It was established in August 2000 on the basis of the structural laboratory, rock mechanics laboratory, soil mechanics laboratory, construction laboratory, water supply and drainage laboratory of Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electric Engineering, and the soil mechanics laboratory and building materials laboratory of Wuhan University of Surveying and Mapping Technology. It was formed through the merger when Wuhan University was founded.

The center currently has four laboratories: engineering structure laboratory, geotechnical mechanics and road and bridge laboratory, engineering construction laboratory, water supply and drainage laboratory. The center has a total area of ??more than 3,700 square meters, with more than 700 instruments and equipment worth 17.58 million yuan, as well as a large number of test tools. The center is equipped with an 864-square-meter structural testing hall, the largest L-shaped reaction wall in central China, a true triaxial material testing machine produced by a Japanese company, and an electro-hydraulic servo controlled stress path dynamic triaxial instrument (stx- 200), electro-hydraulic servo hydraulic systems produced by Fuli Tongda Company, large-tonnage modern prestressed construction testing equipment and other large-scale instruments and equipment. At the same time, the latest road and bridge testing equipment, as well as a large number of static and dynamic precision signal acquisition and analysis systems and testing instruments and equipment, as well as water treatment and fire-fighting experimental equipment, were purchased. The center has complete experimental equipment, ensuring the normal development of experimental teaching and scientific research. At the same time, social services are carried out relying on the Engineering Inspection Center of Wuhan University and Wuhan Luocheng Engineering Inspection Co., Ltd.

Relying on the talent advantages of Wuhan University's disciplines, the center has formed a group of high-level expert teams who grasp the development direction of the center and guide the construction of the center, as well as a high-level experimental teaching team with rich teaching experience. The center adopts a teaching team model of experts, key teachers and experimental technicians. The center currently has 22 full professors (including 15 doctoral supervisors), 31 associate professors (including 1 doctoral supervisor), and 3 senior engineers, forming a well-structured and high-quality group of experts—key teachers— An experimental teaching team composed of teaching assistants. Most of them are active in the front line of theoretical teaching and scientific research. At the same time, we will participate in scientific research projects in major national projects such as the Three Gorges Project, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the reconstruction and expansion of Xiamen International Airport, the Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel, and the Wuhan Passenger Terminal. We will refine and set up comprehensive and innovative experimental projects for experimental teaching, and have achieved a lot. Good results.

After years of construction and development, the center has achieved fruitful results in experimental teaching and talent training, and has trained a large number of high-quality talents for the country. It has achieved excellent results in previous national digital modeling competitions, structural design competitions and various provincial subject competitions, and many academic papers have been included in the three major searches.

The center offers different types of experiments for four undergraduate majors in two schools, including the School of Civil Architectural Engineering and the School of Water Resources and Hydropower. It also undertakes structural experiment courses for master’s students. In particular, it has undertaken a large number of graduate research experiments for doctoral and master's students. On the premise of ensuring classroom experimental teaching, the central venue is open to all teachers and students of our school, and the central instruments and equipment are open to both inside and outside the school, realizing the full sharing of high-quality resources. Every year, units from outside the school come to the center to conduct engineering experiments, which has had a positive social impact.
