Pei Bida | Construction Management | Best Researcher Award

Lecture | Changsha University of Science & Technology | China

Pei Bida has focused research efforts on advancing the field of civil and environmental engineering with a strong emphasis on modern methods and technologies that enhance the performance, safety, and sustainability of large-scale infrastructure systems. His primary interests include Building Information Modeling (BIM), which he employs to improve project coordination, optimize resource use, and advance the integration of digital solutions into engineering practices. A significant portion of his work is devoted to the numerical simulation of large-span bridges, where he applies computational techniques to analyze structural responses under varying conditions, thereby providing more accurate assessments of safety, serviceability, and durability. This direction in research contributes to the efficient design, construction, and maintenance of bridge systems, ensuring that they meet the increasing demands of modern transportation networks. Another key area of his expertise lies in the fatigue analysis of steel bridges, where he examines the long-term behavior of materials and structural components subjected to cyclic loading. Through such investigations, he seeks to address critical issues of degradation and performance loss, thereby extending the service life of important infrastructure while reducing maintenance costs. His research not only contributes to academic understanding but also has direct practical applications in engineering practice, offering solutions to pressing challenges faced in bridge construction and management. By integrating BIM, advanced simulations, and fatigue studies, Pei Bida is shaping a holistic approach to modern civil engineering that bridges theoretical insights with engineering applications. His contributions demonstrate a commitment to advancing safe, efficient, and technologically driven infrastructure solutions that align with the evolving needs of society. This ongoing body of work underlines his role as a significant contributor to civil engineering research, and his scholarly impact is reflected in 231 Citations by 217 documents, 23 Documents, and a 9 h-index View.
