Prof. XIA Yong, Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at PolyU.
Prof. XIA Yong, Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), has been awarded the ASCE Greater China Distinguished Leadership Medal at the 3rd ASCE Greater China Conference.
Prof. XIA is recognised for his exceptional innovative contributions and outstanding leadership in advancing the ASCE Greater China Section and the civil engineering profession in the region. The award’s selection process involved a comprehensive evaluation of criteria such as professional contributions, academic influence, and international engagement.
Prof. Xia has been engaging in research of large-scale civil engineering structural health monitoring, structural damage identification, and substructure methods. Being an expert in the field, his developed technologies have been applied to numerous landmark structures, including the 600-m tall Canton Tower, the 632-m tall Shanghai Tower, the 1377-m long main span Tsing Ma Bridge, the world’s longest 55-km long Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, and the PolyU Footbridge.
For more of Prof. XIA’s achievements:
Machine learning methods for structural health diagnosis and operation maintenance of bridges
Digital Twin-based Long-span Bridge Health Monitoring
PolyU Joint Research Research Centre for Marine Infrastructure
The ASCE Greater China Section serves as a vital platform for fostering the growth of civil engineering in Greater China. It facilitates knowledge exchange, networking opportunities and professional development among its members, uniting engineers across diverse disciplines within civil engineering, including structural, geotechnical, construction, environmental, materials and water resources.
