About the Project

Engineered timber construction is being pioneered as a key alternative to the environmentally unsustainable dependence of the construction industry on concrete and steel. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using timber structural elements in larger projects, pushing the limits of the industry’s understanding of its structural response in fire and going beyond the scope of the design guidance currently available. This project aims to look at the performance of engineered-timber and/or steel-timber hybrid systems in fire.

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 with standard start dates in February and September each year.
