This project aims to model the structural response of reinforced concrete structures under different impact loading conditions. The eventual structural response ranges from having localized damaged components, to a partial or total collapse of the building.
The candidate is expected to:
- Perform a thorough literature review of available data and available modelling methods that can reproduce a realistic collapse scenario
- Develop a systematic modelling approach for the selected modelling platform
- Validate the modelling approach
- Perform numerical parametric studies and develop design guidelines for structural robustness
Job Requirements
- Possess a PhD degree in a relevant field, with demonstrated experience in the following:
- Structural robustness and progressive collapse of RC structures.
- Modelling of structural response under column loss scenarios.
- Large deformation kinematics of rigid bodies.
- Strong written and spoken communications.
- Open to fixed-term contract.
