Postgraduate Research Studentship: Structural Performance, UK
Postgraduate Studentship, Structural Performance, University of Greenwich, Research, UK
Job Description: A three year PhD studentship is available to undertake research in the area of reliability-based condition assessment of deteriorating civil infrastructure systems such as bridges and tunnels from monitoring data.
This project is suitable for a candidate with an excellent first degree and /or a master degree in civil/structural engineering. The successful candidate will also have experience or interests in one or more of the following: numerical modelling, structural reliability, performance assessment and structural health monitoring. The studentship includes a bursary of £13,800 per annum for three years, as well as exemption from all tuition fees for the same period.
Maintenance and management of aging civil infrastructure systems has become a great challenge for engineers in the UK and worldwide. However, the existence of subjective and inaccurate condition assessment is the most critical technical barrier to effective and efficient infrastructure management. For existing civil infrastructure systems such as bridges and tunnels which have experienced progressive deterioration and/or severe loading events due to environmental effects, there is a need for a health prognosis to confidently predict how they will respond to future loading and when they will fail to deliver the required capacity. The integration of structural response measurements and reliability-based performance assessment techniques has tremendous potential for structural safety and/or economic benefits. The research aims to develop a novel technique of a reliable and objective nature to correctly assess structural degradation, evaluate current condition and predict the remaining service life of structures.
Application Deadline: 24th September 2010
