Job Description

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.
