Doctoral student on structural health monitoring of concrete hydro dams KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting a doctoral student for research on the structural rehabilitation of concrete hydro dams within the Division for Concrete Structures at the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. The project focuses on reinforced concrete structures used in hydropower, especially spillways and related concrete elements that have been exposed to decades of varying water flows and, in some cases, extreme high-flow events. The research aims to improve under...

Two fully funded PhD positions are available at The Pennsylvania State University in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and Architectural Engineering . The openings are with Dr. Botong Zheng and focus on experimental materials and experimental structures . Research directions include developing, fabricating, and testing advanced materials; studying how material properties and processing affect mechanical performance; and designing and running structural experiments with instrume...

Fully funded PhD opportunities are available in Civil Engineering at the University of Luxembourg for research on the reuse of concrete structures . The positions are based in the Sustainable Concrete Structure Laboratory under Prof. Numa Bertola and are linked to the ERC Project RESCUE . These PhD projects focus on sustainable structural engineering, concrete structures, structural behavior, material properties, and structural modelling. The post is aimed at candidates with a strong background ...

Ph.D. opportunity at the University of New Hampshire in Structural Engineering , with a research focus at the intersection of marine energy , structural dynamics , advanced concrete technology , wave energy converters , and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) . The position is in Dr. Philippe Kalmogo’s research group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The project aims to design and analyze Wave Energy Converter (WEC) hulls using UHPC, with work spanning computational fl...

This doctoral project is based in the Division for Concrete Structures at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and sits within the third-cycle subject of Civil and Architectural Engineering. The research focuses on hydraulic design of hydropower structures, with particular attention to hydro dam bottom outlets. These outlets are critical for dam safety and operation because they are used for emergency lowering of reservoir water levels and may also be used when spillway overflow occurs. The project...
