The Key Laboratory of Advanced Civil Engineering Materials of the Ministry of Education was established in 2005 with the approval of the Ministry of Education. The laboratory relies on Tongji University's five secondary discipline doctoral programs (Materialogy, Material Physics and Chemistry, Materials Processing Engineering, Structural Engineering and Engineering Mechanics), three national key disciplines (Materialogy, Structural Engineering and Engineering Mechanics) and two Post-doctoral research stations (Materials Science and Engineering, Civil Engineering). The laboratory currently has 55 permanent staff, including 1 academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 4 "National Outstanding Youth Fund Winners", 2 special professors of the "Cheung Kong Scholars Award Program", 45 professors, and 51 doctors. More than 300 graduate students. The main research directions are:

(1) High performance civil engineering structural materials;

(2) Advanced civil engineering functional materials;

(3) Green civil engineering materials;

(4) Service behavior and application of civil engineering materials.

The laboratory now has 22 sets of large-scale instruments and equipment with a total amount of more than 300,000 yuan and a 5000m² laboratory area. We are undertaking research on major issues and construction projects of national "973", national "863", national science and technology support, national natural science foundation key and general projects, and major national ministries and local governments.
