Besides, Yongtao Bai is invited as one of editorial aboard (a total of 25) of Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings from 2022. This is an internationally renowned Journal in High-rise Building field, whose editor is Academician Xilin Lv of Tongji University, published by one of the three major international academic publishing institutions - Wiley. Its theses mainly includes high-rise building structure, seismic design of structure, special structure and so on. This indicates CQU has a high international influence in the field of high-rise building structure and has been positively recognized by experts in related fields at home and abroad.
