Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Stay In Place (SIP) formwork for structural concrete elements

University of Bradford
Faculty of Engineering and Informatics

Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments

Prof A Ashour

Applications accepted all year round

The concept of using FRP composites for structurally integrated stay-in-place (SIP) formwork for structural concrete elements maximizes the advantages of both FRP and concrete; not only can the high strength of FRP be utilized effectively, but also FRP profiles can serve as permanent formwork.

University of Portsmouth
School of Civil Engineering and Surveying

Dr L Clough, Dr D Begg, Dr S Barnett

Application Deadline: 17 February 2019

Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in October 2019. The PhD will be based in the School of Civil Engineering and Surveying and will be supervised by Dr Laurie Clough, Dr David Begg and Dr Stephanie Barnett.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

The politics of social reproduction: Crisis, concrete alternative practices and prefigurative policy in the age of destruction

University of Bath
Department of Social & Policy Sciences

Dr A Dinerstein

Application Deadline: 29 January 2019

The financial crisis of 2008 was a breakpoint in the way capitalist society reproduces itself through money as a form of wealth.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Use of polymer concrete as a lining material for small diameter tunnels installed using Microtunnelling Machines

University of Birmingham
Department of Civil Engineering

Dr A Royal, Prof D N Chapman

Applications accepted all year round

Trenchless technologies are used to install buried infrastructure without the need for open cut excavations. One such technique is microtunnelling; this uses microtunnelling machines to excavate the bore whilst the lining is traditionally installed via pipe jacking or auto-erecting segmental systems.
