The research group has compiled the first recycled concrete teaching book in china.

The research group has constantly taken the research work seriously. Rigorous and in-depth science research has carried out on many fields, including recycled concrete, high performance concrete fire resistance, precast concrete structure, sea water sea sand concrete and construction waste recycling and reuse. The research group has received the science and technology progress award of National Ministy Education, more than 10 Shanghai science and technology progress award and more than 5 items of National Natural Science fund.

The research group pay attention to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, published more than 80 SCI academic papers, more than 150 EI academic papers, presided over and participated in the formulation of 6 standards and of China and Shanghai, and applied for and obtained more than 20 patents.

The research group advocates academic freedom, attaches great importance to academic exchanges, and actively carries out international exchanges.
