Research Assistantships for PhD Students in Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, Portugal

The Structural Concrete group of the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (www.isise.net) was awarded a research grant on “ISS – Intelligent Super Skin. Enhanced Durability for Concrete Members”, funded by FCT – the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, aimed at significantly improve the durability of concrete structures.

The ISS research project is organized in three sub?projects, each one with self?contained objectives, but linked by strong synergies: (1) development of an ultra?high durability concrete (UHDC) with self?sensor properties; (2) mechanical characterization of the interface between this new UHDC and a normal concrete substrate, including the proposal of a modified shear?friction design expression for this type of connections; (3) implementation of a 3D modelling of quasi?brittle fracture of concrete using an embedded discrete crack approach based on an existing 2D finite?element code. A PhD research assistanship (RA) will be attributed to each of these sub?projects.

Candidates for the PhD RA will need to have an MSc in Civil Engineering (Structures or Construction) and the needed background and motivation in one of the following fields: (1) concrete mixture design; (2) structural concrete; (3) finite?element programming. In addition, candidates need to be fluent in English. Grants of 1000 € per month will be attributed for 12 months periods, renewed up to 36 months. PhD students will be encouraged to participate in a specialized consultancy work per year, in order to support the PhD tuition fee.
