Structural Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

We have 146 Structural Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

3D behaviour of masonry arch bridges

Almost half of all bridge spans currently carrying road and rail traffic in the UK are masonry arches. Many of these are much loved structures, of significant cultural and historic interest. Read more

Functional composites through hybridisation PhD

Advanced continuous carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites, offer a very attractive combination of mechanical properties, environmental resistance and lightweight which make them a superior choice for high performance applications. Read more

Design of hybrid aluminium-concrete structural elements

Supervisory Team.   Dr Evangelia Georgantzia and Dr Mehdi Kashani. Project description. Hybrid steel-concrete members are adopted in building applications as a cost-effective and high-speed construction practice. Read more

Using AI to predict the effect of climate change on earthworks

  Research Group: School of Civil Engineering
Background. Recent experience and future climate projections show increasingly wet winters and increasingly dry summers. The resulting wetting and drying cycles are causing increased shrinkage and swelling of earthworks. Read more

Effect of sea level rise, coastal erosion, and flooding risk on track

  Research Group: School of Civil Engineering
Background. With the events at Dawlish and sea water levels at Skegness predicted to rise 35cm by 2050, and coupled with the recent effects of storms such as Babet, coastal issues will become more prevalent in the future. Read more

Effect of long wet days and seasons, or intense and heavy rainfall on track, drainage and geotechnical

  Research Group: School of Civil Engineering
Background. Modelling strongly suggests that these weather effects will become more severe by 2080, particularly instances of Storm Babet and the incident at the Bradway Tunnel highlight this, and the subsequent impact on services/users. Read more

Valuing Green Infrastructure for a Well adapted UK

  Research Group: School of Civil Engineering
It is widely accepted that we cannot simply build our way out of the climate & biodiversity emergency (e.g. using traditional grey infrastructure solution). Read more
