Discipline: Structure engineering and Digital fabrication
Do a research on 3D Concrete Printing is a digitally driven, off-site, large-scale additive manufacturing technology, which is rapidly establishing itself worldwide.Then write a research paper on the findings.
Key to wider application is the manufacture of structural materials that combine cement-based concretes and mortars with reinforcement.
This PhD will focus on the development of digital modelling tools and techniques to support structural design calculation and simulation. The candidate will be excited by the application of modelling techniques and undertaking experimental validation.
The candidate will benefit from working closely with a leading structural engineering practice providing excellent industrial experience and the potential to embed the developed codes into practice.
