Advancing Strain Measurements in Geotechnical Engineering: Optimising Fibre Optic Sensor Packaging with 3D Printing Technology
Measuring strain and deformation in soils is critically important in geotechnical engineering, offering valuable insights into soil behaviour under various loading conditions and environmental factors. Read more
Adapting the proficiency testing schemes of soil materials in road construction to climate change to improve sustainability and affordability of the low-volume road infrastructure in low-income countries.
Road construction projects are traditionally expensive and at times unaffordable by the third world countries. Limited budgets often lead to low inputs in terms of engineering as these may require expertise that s not available locally during road construction and maintenance activities. Read more
Textile Reinforced Concretes for structural or repair applications
PhD applications are invited to the University of Birmingham to conduct research in the field of Textile Reinforced Concrete. Read more
Multiphase Flow Modelling
This opportunity seeks motivated students with teamworking skills and a strong background in Fluid Dynamics and/or Computing. The PhD topics cover different applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to multiphase flows, including (but not restricted to). Read more
Assessment of the resilience and deterioration of flexible pavements built on strong subgrades with untreated problematic soils intrusions
The resilience of road surface and therefore quality of riding on its surface is not only a result of the surface material and construction practices. Read more
Investigating the effects of hydromechanical properties on the collapsibility and instability of slopes with unsaturated volcanic soils.
Unsaturated volcanic soils could possess significant apparent cohesion and shear strength leading to stability of slopes at greater slope angles. Read more
An experimental investigation of the impacts of desiccation cracking on slope hydrology and stability characteristics
Slope failures are common and globally known as serious causes of mass movements of soils. Read more
Application of artificial intelligence to multiphysics problems in materials design
Composite materials (cement-based or polymeric-based) have been widely used for several decades for the construction or repair of the infrastructure or built environment. Read more
Assessment of the safety of deteriorated masonry structures
Composite materials (cement-based or polymeric-based) have been widely used for several decades for the construction or repair of the infrastructure or built environment. Read more
Development of machine-learning based high performance composites for constructions
Composite materials (cement-based or polymeric-based) have been widely used for several decades for the construction or repair of the infrastructure or built environment. Read more
Analytical modelling of pressure waves in tunnels due to high-speed trains
The understanding of pressure waves generated by high-speed trains as they enter and pass in tunnels is important due to their impact on passenger comfort and forces on tunnel infrastructure. Read more
Challenges and opportunities of advancing the adoption of BIM (Building Information Modelling) within particular Industries or Countries.
Although it is widely understood that BIM delivers long term benefit within the ideal world, the complexities associated with different contexts often provide a significant barrier to these processes and technologies being adopted. Read more
Development of innovative low carbon construction materials
One of the major needs for achieving the decarbonisation targets in the construction industry is the development of innovative low-carbon construction materials for the development of future infrastructure or for the repair of existing deteriorated ones. Read more
Gender Issues in Road Safety for the Global South
This PhD research proposal aims to investigate gender issues in road safety in the Global South, focusing on women's mobility and safety. Read more
Artificial Intelligence Approaches to Respond to Road Crashes
This PhD research proposal aims to investigate the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods to enhancing responses to road crashes. Read more
