Liu Yuping

Liu Yuping is a Lecturer at the Department of Civil Engineering, School of Civil Engineering and Water Resources, Shandong University, where she has taught since 2003. Her academic expertise focuses on concrete durability under extreme environmental conditions and structural stability analysis of high-rise buildings. She holds a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from Shandong University and has 15+ years of experience in civil engineering research.

• PhD (Geotechnical Engineering, Shandong University, 2008-2012)
• Master (Architecture and Environmental Engineering, Chang'an University, 2000-2003)
• Bachelor (Industrial and Civil Engineering, Xi'an University of Technology, 1995-1999)

Her research explores concrete damage mechanisms under environmental stressors like freeze-thaw cycles, seawater corrosion, and ice loads. She specializes in vibration response analysis of tall structures and has developed novel energy dissipation devices for seismic and environmental load mitigation. Her work spans structural simulation, patent design, and construction safety evaluation.

Recent publications include 2017 patents on multi-stage vibration reduction systems and a SCI-indexed paper on seismic control of transmission towers. Earlier work (2011) investigated concrete-ice interactions and geotechnical reinforcement. Her 2015 study on vertical structure dynamics remains influential.

• Third Prize in National Civil Engineering Multimedia Teaching (2007)
• Shandong University 'March 8th Red Flag Bearer' (2008)

She has participated in 10 major research projects (including NSFC grants) and 5 teaching reforms. Her patents address structural resilience in extreme conditions, while textbooks cover risk management and environmental economics in engineering.
