Application of artificial intelligence to multiphysics problems in materials design
Development, design or assessment of materials with better performance, better durability and lower carbon footprints are among the main current challenges of many engineering disciplines including the construction sector. Read more
Resilience-based management of transport infrastructure enhanced by digital data and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The candidate may have any background in civil and/or structural engineering and will have an understanding of digital data and value of digital twins, and how to process data using streamlined Artificial Intelligence methods for solving engineering problems. Read more
Climate-resilience and sustainability optimisation in transport infrastructure adaptation
The candidate may have any background in infrastructure and/or environmental engineering and will have an understanding of hazards, such as climate and/or human induced hazards and stressors. Read more
Computational modelling and risk assessment of heavy rainfall impacts on transport infrastructure
Description of the project. This highly exciting project help to address one of the most challenging engineering problems – adapting to climate change, and help the student to learning highly sought-after skills and knowledge for a wide range of career paths. Read more
Multi-hazard earthquake-fire behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular columns
Our futuristic vision for Sustainable and Resilient Structures is one that has transparent expectations of structural performance against time, increased loads, environmental changes and natural disasters. Read more
Fatigue life assessment of old steel truss bridges
Steel trusses have widely been used over the last 150 years for railway and highway bridges. Read more
Multi-hazard earthquake-fire behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular columns
Our futuristic vision for Sustainable and Resilient Structures is one that has transparent expectations of structural performance against time, increased loads, environmental changes and natural disasters. Read more
Preparing for bigger floods: Advancing modelling and risk assessment for extreme flood events
Description of the project. The world has seen devastating flood events in the last two years, for example, in Central Europe in 2021 and in Pakistan in 2022. Read more
Machine learning and computer vision for localisation, classification, and quantification of structural damage
Inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure the serviceability and safety of bridges. Current inspection on site is often done manually on paper, and paper is the medium to exchange condition information between the involved stakeholders. Read more
Textile Reinforced Concretes for structural or repair application
PhD applications are invited to the University of Birmingham to conduct research in the field of Textile Reinforced Concrete. The application of Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRCs) to the repair of deteriorated existing structures or to the development of new structural components has recently received growing attention. Read more
Geopolymeric membranes for water purification on Mars and the Moon
Martian and lunar dust simulants are terrestrial material designed to simulate the known chemical and mechanical properties of martian and lunar soil (regolith). 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
Sustainable mitigation of windblown sand in desert
Desert is normally covered by sand dunes that are metastable in nature. Due to the aeolian-led migration by strong wind, these sand dunes inundate the existing infrastructure including National Highways, Railways, Airstrips, Solar parks, Defence structures, etc. Read more
Buried Infrastructure Digital Twin: Integrating BIM with cutting-edge computing technologies for real-scale buried infrastructure tests
The continuous requirement of project safety, stability and resilience of complex underground systems leads to demands for more efficient computational assessment tools that can be used to assist design and decision making during the project life cycle. 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
