Guizhou University | China

Prof. Mingxuan Shen’s research primarily focuses on the mechanical behavior, microstructural evolution, and damage mechanisms of rock–concrete composites and other geomaterials under extreme environmental and stress conditions. His studies integrate experimental and numerical methods to investigate the coupled effects of temperature, moisture, stress, and chemical environments on the durability and strength of construction materials. By employing advanced analytical tools such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and low-field NMR technology, Shen explores pore structure characteristics, water distribution, and micro-damage evolution in cement-based materials and rock-concrete interfaces. His works contribute to understanding the long-term stability and failure mechanisms of composite materials used in large-scale engineering applications such as roller-compacted concrete dams and geotechnical structures. He has also explored nonlinear creep models based on fractional calculus theory and viscoplastic models for layered rocks, which provide significant theoretical support for predicting time-dependent deformation in rock engineering. Shen’s recent studies delve into sustainable and ecological material design, including recycled concrete and mortars utilizing corn cob and wood admixtures, aiming to enhance resource efficiency and environmental performance in the construction sector. His comprehensive approach bridges material science, structural engineering, and environmental sustainability, contributing valuable insights to both academic research and engineering practice. The body of work reflects consistent innovation in modeling, testing, and simulation of composite and recycled materials, reinforcing Shen’s contributions to advancing civil and materials engineering.
