Fully Funded PhD Positions in Sustainable Concrete Structures: Bridge Reuse and Lifespan Extension University of Luxembourg in Luxembourg

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 ...

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of Luxembourg for research on concrete reuse , structural engineering , sustainable construction , and data-driven modelling . The post advertises 3 fully funded PhD positions within the ERC-funded RESCUE project . The research aims to determine how concrete elements can be safely reused before deconstruction by combining full-scale experiments , non-destructive testing , and predictive multi-scale, multi-physics modelling . The available topics are: (1) Mechani...

This doctoral project is based in the Division for Concrete Structures at KTH Civil and Architectural Engineering and focuses on the structural health monitoring of reinforced concrete dams used in hydropower. The research addresses the ageing of dams in Sweden and elsewhere, where long service lives can lead to cracking, leaching, surface wear, and more difficult-to-detect damage such as reinforcement corrosion. The project aims to improve understanding of how concrete dams respond during norma...

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...
