PhD student ‘A multi-scale approach to assess the reusability and nodal robustness of precast RC structures’

Background
The Construction Engineering Research Group (CERG) is an emerging research group within the Faculty of Engineering Technology of UHasselt. The research activities mainly focus on the design and mechanical behaviour of structures and structural components made of concrete, masonry, steel, timber, and composite and hybrid structural solutions. In recent years, more attention has been given to the durability assessment of such solutions, as well as their long-term behaviour and circular building solutions. With expertise in probabilistic analyses, the group also focuses on the safety assessment of structures, incorporating information from various data sources, including monitoring data. In the scope of a UHasselt-financed research project, CERG wishes to recruit a full-time PhD student.
