🧩 Suitability Summary

Dr. Wang’s expertise directly addresses a major concern in infrastructure development—evaluating the vibration impact of self-falling heavy hammer drilling on surrounding structures. His innovative computational model, combined with field validation on the G8513 Highway from Wudu to Jiuzhaigou, makes his work highly relevant and practically valuable. He successfully quantifies damage levels to various house types based on distance from the vibration source, offering critical support for construction safety assessments. His real-world applicability and research originality make him a strong candidate for international recognition.

📘 Education & Experience

Dr. Guobing Wang is currently affiliated with the Geotechnical Engineering Research Institute at Xi’an University of Technology. His academic and professional journey revolves around geotechnical engineering with a specialized focus on soil dynamics, particularly the response of non-uniform and unsaturated soil under construction-induced vibrations. With hands-on experience from real-world highway projects, Dr. Wang bridges theoretical soil mechanics and practical engineering challenges, contributing significantly to the understanding of vibration effects in rural residential environments.

📈 Professional Development

Dr. Wang actively contributes to the scientific community through editorial roles in respected journals like Sound & Vibration and Global Science and Engineering. He is a member of international organizations such as the International Association for Applied Science and Technology (IAAST) and the Sound and Vibration Committee. He also participates in collaborative research, including a study on the vibration response of long-span continuous beam bridges under vehicle loads (Project No: 2024BWKY002). These roles reflect his commitment to academic excellence and interdisciplinary advancement.

🔬 Research Focus

His research targets the theoretical and practical challenges of construction-induced vibrations on complex soil structures. He developed a novel prediction method that integrates a non-homogeneous gradient factor into a logarithmic model of shear modulus variation with depth. By coupling impact force with site non-uniformity, and applying Hankel transform in the frequency domain, he solved a system of partial differential equations to analyze vibration attenuation. His findings show direction-dependent vibration amplitudes, and define damage thresholds for civil, brick, and frame structures, based on proximity. This pioneering method supports safe infrastructure design near residential zones.

🏆 Honors & Awards

Dr. Wang has submitted his research for the International Research Awards, recognizing his innovative contributions to evaluating vibration effects of pile driving on residential buildings. His work, validated through field experiments, holds both scientific merit and societal impact, helping protect rural housing during major infrastructure expansions.
