Dr Guo has been engaged in the researches of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures for a long time, and focuses on the Development and Application of Composite Structures in Ocean Engineering. His research interests include:

(1) Novel steel-concrete composite structures including steel plate-concrete structures (SCS/SC), spatial composite beam-slab system (BS), concrete filled steel tubes (CFST), etc., of which the application scenarios include subsea immersed tunnels, offshore platforms, offshore turbines, river/sea-cross bridges, underground structures, large-span floors, protective structures, structural repairs and reinforcements, etc., with the emphases on structural analyses related to hydro environment;

(2) Green concrete materials and the applications in composite structures, using ocean-based composites, wasted rubber, recycled aggregates, geopolymers and other environmentally friendly and low carbon materials to develop novel materials and composite structures, which can be applied in different scenarios and serve the sustainable development;

(3) High-performance and AI-aided computing, developing high-efficiency numerical methods suitable for different material characteristics, structural forms, and application backgrounds, studying the cross-application of artificial intelligence and structural design, and studying the cross-application of artificial intelligence and earthquake engineering.

The main research contents include using conceptual design, structural testing, model development, theoretical analysis, and other methods to propose novel structural systems suitable for different scenarios, analyzing the basic mechanisms, establishing design methods, and ultimately promoting engineering applications. The research goals are to establish new materials, new structures, new systems, new tools, new models, and new methods; to improve structural safety, usability, environmental friendliness, economy, and durability; and to solve engineering problems, promote engineering innovation, serve key developing strategies and engineering demands.
