PhD Research Fellow in Numerical Optimization of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Denmark

/ January 27, 2011 Leave a Comment

The research project deals with application of numerical optimization methods for design and analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The goal is to combine finite element technology with modern optimization algorithms to develop numerical tools for design and analysis of large scale problems. Subjects that may be dealt with include:
1) Development of lower- and upper bound finite plate and disk elements.
2) Formulation of numerical procedures for the determination of optimal reinforcement layout in concrete plates and disks with regard to both strength and stiffness criteria.
3) Development of procedure for elasto-plastic analysis of cracked reinforced concrete structures within the framework of convex optimization.

The project will be conducted in collaboration with researchers from The University of Newcastle, Australia, at which an exchange research stay is also planned to take place as a part of the PhD project.

Candidates with a M.Sc. degree in civil- or structural engineering, a strong background in computational mechanics and documented knowledge in limit analysis of reinforced concrete structures are invited to apply.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 February, 2011 at 12 noon
