Nie Jianguo observes the experimental phenomena in the laboratory (photo provided by Tsinghua University) to achieve good scientific research results, a series of achievements, and big achievements
.
He should do four things: not to catch up with the fashion, not to follow the trend, not to join in the fun, and not to join in the quantity
.
Scientific research needs inheritance, but it also needs questioning and critical spirit
.
——In Nie Jianguo’s Tsinghua garden in the early spring, amidst the green Fatong trees and poplar trees, a gray white building is “lively”: one by one, buildings and bridge structural models are tested by various loads, and the dust and smell of steel and concrete are dispersed in the air
.
It’s not like a lab, it’s like a construction site
.
This is the structural experiment hall of Civil Engineering Department, School of civil engineering and water conservancy, Tsinghua University
.
In this “construction site”, almost every day, a teacher wearing a helmet and overalls will walk through it, asking about the progress of the experiment and guiding the students’ scientific research
.
He is Nie Jianguo, academician of Chinese Academy of engineering and professor of School of civil engineering and water conservancy of Tsinghua University
.
Love is worth years
.
Nie Jianguo, who wanted to be an “engineer” since he was a child, has devoted all his love to civil engineering in his motherland for more than 40 years
.
Rainbow Bridge in Shenzhen, Guanyinyan Yangtze River Bridge in Chongqing, Dongting Lake Bridge on Dayue expressway, Tianjin tower, Wuhan Center Many tall buildings, bridges and towers, Nie Jianguo’s research achievements are blooming all over the country
.
In Beijing alone, more than 300 bridges have adopted the research results of his composite deck system, which has set up a thoroughfare for the high-speed operation of Beijing
.
After graduating from middle school in early January 1972, Nie Jianguo, 14, went back to work as a farmer, but he never gave up studying
.
“Since childhood, my mother has taught our brothers that only by reading can we be promising.” Nie Jianguo recalled that he had no choice but to study by himself while farming
.
Later, after his mother’s unremitting efforts, Nie Jianguo entered the campus again
.
After another year of junior high school, he entered the fourth senior high school in Hengyang County, Hunan Province in September 1974
.
“For two years in high school, I went home once a week or every two weeks
.
It’s usually five hours to walk home after lunch on Saturday, and then walk back to school after lunch on Sunday
.
It’s usually dark when we get back to school
.
” Nie Jianguo recalled his high school life in those years as “hard but full”
.
The short high school life flashed by
.
In July 1976, after graduating from high school, Nie Jianguo went back home to work in agriculture again and worked as a salesman in the new sales agency of the brigade in mid October
.
Two months later, he was recruited to the commune as a telephone operator
.
Nie Jianguo was very eager to study
.
In October 1977, after learning the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, he insisted on realizing his childhood dream of becoming an engineer and decided to take the college entrance examination resolutely, although his superior leaders at that time persuaded him not to take the college entrance examination and promised to help him “change jobs” as soon as possible
.
In February 1978, he received the admission notice from Hunan University as he wished, which opened the long march of scientific exploration
.
“It’s a golden opportunity.” Nie Jianguo is always glad for his choice
.
In February 1989, Nie Jianguo was sent to Yugoslavia to study
.
Due to his solid scientific research foundation and outstanding performance, foreign tutors offered follow-up funding to transfer him to a doctor’s degree
.
After receiving his doctorate, Nie Jianguo returned to China in March 1992 and worked as a postdoctoral fellow of Professor Shen Jumin in the Department of civil engineering of Tsinghua University
.
When he was a postdoctoral student in Tsinghua University, Nie Jianguo’s career was just at the beginning
.
At that time, the research and application of composite structure in China were very few, and it was very difficult to make a little progress
.
“In retrospect, the encouragement and support from my co tutors for my research direction and the affirmation and funding from my colleagues in the engineering field for my initial idea have strengthened my confidence and determination in the research of composite structure.” He recalled
.
Nie Jianguo can still clearly remember the first engineering consulting project he completed during his postdoctoral period
.
This project is of great significance to him
.
It not only realizes some of his ideas in practical projects, but also provides him with valuable research funds to help him complete some extensive basic scientific research
.
It was these early research accumulation that led to his successful application for the first National Natural Science Foundation Project and the subsequent key projects, science fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, etc
.
In Nie Jianguo’s computer, the most valuable thing is his engineering photos taken from all over the world
.
No matter where he goes, his cameras are everywhere
.
Because, in Nie Jianguo’s view, inspiration often bursts out in the details of life
.
In order to take photos of various buildings and bridge structures and obtain first-hand research data, Nie Jianguo climbed the scaffolding and drilled through the narrow space inside the structure
.
At the end of 2014, Nie Jianguo, his colleagues and students went to Nanning for a meeting
.
Before 6 a.m., while others were still asleep, Nie Jianguo had already taken a camera and headed for a bridge across the Yongjiang river
.
It turned out that on the road the day before yesterday, he found that there were some improvements in the design of the bridge, so he wanted to quickly take a picture and go back to do research for the students
.
“Once, when the car was driving on the highway, Mr
.
Nie suddenly called to stop
.
The driver was startled
.
Later, he found that he saw a bridge outside the window, which was very special
.
He was eager to take pictures of the details
.
” Fan Jiansheng, a former student of Nie Jianguo and a professor of civil engineering, said, “he really loves this job.” For more than 40 years, Nie Jianguo has always recognized the research of combinatorial structure, no matter whether it is popular or not
.
In fact, Nie Jianguo has his own views on this issue
.
“Since the 1960s and 1970s, western developed countries have basically completed large-scale infrastructure construction
.
Due to the lack of application demand, the research power of new structure forms and systems in developed countries is obviously insufficient in recent 20-30 years
.
In sharp contrast, China’s civil engineering will still maintain a rapid development level in the current and foreseeable future for a long time, which creates a golden opportunity for China to catch up with and lead the development trend of world structural engineering
.
” Nie Jianguo said
.
He predicted that with the rapid development of economy and society, the huge demand for large-scale infrastructure construction in China will provide a rare historical opportunity for the development of composite structure
.
In the autumn of 1994, Nie Jianguo completed a two-year post doctoral research in the Department of civil engineering of Tsinghua University, and without hesitation chose to stay on teaching
.
As he foresees, in the near future, China’s high-rise buildings, transportation hubs, bridges and tunnels, stadiums, convention and exhibition centers and other large-scale public infrastructure construction are in full swing, which has a huge demand for new structural forms and systems
.
Steel concrete composite structure provides a new choice to solve the key technical problems in the field of civil engineering.
