IStructE China Young Researchers' Conference 2017 was held in Chongqing University on 23, Dec. 2017. China Regional Group of The Institution of Structural Engineers (hereafter referred as IStructE), the Civil Engineering, hydraulic engineering, and architecture department of Chinese Academy of Engineering (hereafter referred as CAE) hosted, and Chongqing University (hereafter referred as CQU), Tongji University (hereafter referred as TJU), and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (hereafter referred as HKPU) undertook the conference. Over 10 experts and 20 young researchers attended the conference, such as Xuhong ZHOU, the academician of CAE and the president of CQU, Yukio TAMURA, the foreign academician of CAE and the full-time professor of CQU, Wenzhong YU, the foreign academician of CAE and the chairman of Lam dong Yan international engineering consulting (China) co., LTD.
