Open Fully-funded Ph.D. Position on multi-scale UHPFRC infrastructure strengthening

University of Luxembourg

Prof. Numa Bertola

The Sustainable Concrete Structure Laboratory is looking for a new Ph.D. candidate. In this fully-funded position, the Ph.D. candidate will work on using developing a multi-scale approach for sustainable design of UHPFRC strengthening of civil infrastructures.

As the successful candidate, you will contribute to a research project at the intersection of engineering (concrete structures), material science (ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC)), and infrastructure management (network-scale).

The aim of this Ph.D. project is to develop new solutions for strengthening existing concrete infrastructure to extend their lifespan. The tasks comprise the development of a laboratory campaign of novel eco-UHPFRC mixes with conventional and textile reinforcement, ...
