About the Project
Nowadays, light-gauge structures, made of cold-formed steel, have become increasingly popular due to factors such as cost and weight economy, sustainability, processes, the growth of powerful methods of analysis, etc. Thin-walled sections are more and more often used as primary members in industrial buildings, warehouses and even in multi-storey residential/office buildings. However, problems arise due to the thinness of the walls and there has been very little research on their behaviour in fire, which is surely worth investigating.
Academic requirements: Minimum UK 2.1 level degree classification or above or overseas equivalent qualification.
Start date: Flexible. The University of Sheffield operate cohort recruitment and the standard start dates are February and September each year.
For informal enquiries please e-mail Dr Shan Shan Huang (s.huang@sheffield.ac.uk).
