The Technical Seminar on the Design of Long-time Heavy-load Loading System for 5m×5m×5m Geological Model of Physical Simulation Facility of Ultra-large Deep Engineering Hazards was held on November 4 at NEU.
After the opening ceremony, the expert panel headed by Academician Ren Huiqi listened carefully to NEU's report on the technical plan of the loading system, reviewed the reports and drawings of the project construction plan, inspected the basic conditions of the preliminary facility construction, and fully affirmed the necessity and scientificity of the project and the feasibility of the technical plan. Centering on the specific implementation, technical indicators, risk control, project management and operation of the project, it put forward a series of opinions and suggestions. Through discussion, the expert panel unanimously approved the design plan of the "Long-time Heavy-load Loading System for 5m×5m×5m Geological Model of Physical Simulation Facility of Ultra-large Deep Engineering Hazards".
Feng Xiating expressed his sincere gratitude to the leaders and experts present for their support and guidance, claiming that he would conduct in-depth demonstrations and further refine the design plan in accordance with the opinions and suggestions of the expert panel, strive to build a super-large physical simulation facility for deep engineering disasters as soon as possible, and improve scientific and technological services, so as to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing, new materials and other industries in Liaoning.
It is reported that the super-large physical simulation facility for deep engineering disasters is the first major scientific and technological infrastructure endorsed by Shenyang City, with Feng Xiating, president of NEU and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as the chief scientist. On August 5, 2022, NEU held a demonstration meeting on the facility construction, where the expert panel headed by Qian Qihu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, winner of the Highest Science and Technology Awards, and winner of the "Order of August the First", unanimously agreed on the construction plan of the "physical simulation facility for super-large deep engineering disasters". As the core basic platform of the facility, the long-term heavy-load loading system for 5m×5m×5m geological model is scheduled to be installed and debugged in December 2026.
Combining the international cutting-edge basic research on deep engineering disasters with practical applications, this innovative project is positioned to explore and reveal the formation mechanism of complex geological structures and extreme occurrence environment of deep engineering, the breeding mechanism of major disasters in deep engineering, the mechanism of stable and increased production of deep oil, gas, geothermal and mineral resources, and the rock mass safety of deep engineering, and designed to solve a series of major scientific issues and core technical problems in deep engineering disasters caused by complex and changeable geological conditions, extreme formation environment, various engineering activities and other factors, thereby realizing the deep integration of machinery manufacturing, new materials, and information intelligence. The construction of the facility will lead the direction of international development of deep engineering science, enhance the science and education services, help Liaoning create a regional science and technology innovation center with national influence, and support the high-quality development of extreme manufacturing, materials and other industries.
