About the Project
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. Such stressors could include flooding and scour, foundation settlements, corrosion, explosion as a result of attacks and/or other accidental loading. To this end multihazard scenarios and climate projections will be analysed and assessed. The main scope of this PhD is to process openly available digital data from e.g., UAV-enabled mapping, GIS, satellite imagery and/or forensic evidence to develop optimised resilience and sustainability solutions for assets, such as bridges or other critical infrastructure. Scenarios of proactive (ex-ante) and reactive (ex-post) adaptation of critical infrastructure will be evaluated to make the case for resilient infrastructure that contributes to Net-Zero.
Please apply here: https://sits.bham.ac.uk/lpages/EPS015.htm and choose the appropriate for your choice for “PhD in Department of Civil Engineering”.
Funding Notes
Funding: Competition-based. The successful candidate will be able to have a salary top-up if they are happy to be seconded to another collaborative University and help towards the delivery of ongoing research projects (see e.g., View Website).
