Biography
Siqing Qin graduated from North China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower with a bachelor’s degree in 1986, and graduated from Northeastern University in 1991 with a PhD. From 1992 to 94, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Chengdu University of Technology. He has been engaged in the research of engineering geology and geotechnical engineering and has achieved fruitful results in the optimisation design of deep foundation pit support engineering and nonlinear geotechnical mechanics.
Since 2009, from the new perspective of the stability of the main control locking slope and the generation of tectonic earthquakes, the brittle rupture theory of multi-locking sections has been proposed. The proposal for adjusting the seismic fortification intensity parameters of Xiong'an New Area proposed in 2017 has been adopted by the Hebei Province (2018-2035). In 2019, the scientific problem Large Earthquake Mechanism and Its Physical Prediction Method was selected as one of the 20 cutting-edge scientific problems and engineering and technical problems released by the China Association for Science and Technology in 2019.
