On 8t^h January 2016, the 2015 National Science and Technology Award Conference was held in the Great Hall of the People. Cooperating with China Earthquake Administration, CEEDI successfully completed the theory, approach and application of seismic design for building structure based on performance, which won the first prize of the National Scientific and Technological Progress Award. 

The study has been fully applied for the seismic design for many key projects and greatly improves the seismic performance of building structure. It reaches the best balance between the safety of life and the project investment.

This is the second time for CEEDI to win a prize at the national level since the second prize of the National Scientific and Technological Progress Award in 2014.
