Biography

Lu Zhaojun, male, Han nationality, is a native of Fuzhou, Fujian Province. He was born in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. He graduated from the Civil Engineering Department of Qinghua University in 1941 and obtained a master's degree in science from Harvard University in 1948.

A former researcher for the Ministry of Railway, Lu spent considerable time analyzing earth and road construction technology in special earth regions. In the 1950s, he directed research focusing on the nature of salinized soil, soft soil works, and road construction. Lu later took the lead in using drainage sand wells to treat soft soil roadbed; he also created the experiment and design standard of soft soil.

While presiding over a sub-structural project, he advanced a structural form theory relating to anchoring board retaining soil and a corresponding computer analysis. This theory was recognized not only in China, but also in Japan. Lu's research included a law concerning the strengthening change of expansion soil and discovering the mutual relations between absorptive strength and its expansion pressure of non-saturated soil.
