The Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences was founded in 1958. It is a comprehensive research institution of the Chinese Academy of Sciences specializing in basic and applied research in rock and soil mechanics, characterized by an engineering application background. The late international rock and soil mechanics expert Academician Chen Zongji was the founder of the institute. In March 2002, the institute entered the Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In January 2007, the State Key Laboratory of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. At present, it has established research and development units such as the State Key Laboratory of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, the Hubei Key Laboratory of Environmental Geotechnical Engineering, the Research Center for Underground Storage of Energy and Waste, the China Geotechnical Engineering Research Center, and the Geotechnical Engineering Testing Center. Focusing on key rock and soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering issues in national key infrastructure construction, the institute carries out basic, strategic, and forward-looking scientific and technological innovation research on large-scale underground spaces, high and steep slopes, and complex foundations.
