PhD Studentship in Civil Engineering - Imperial College London

PhD Studentship Seismic Performance of Hybrid Steel/Concrete Column/Slab
Systems
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering


Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work on the above research
project in the area of Structural Earthquake Engineering. Applicants must
have a first degree (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering and preferably a
Masters degree (or equivalent) in Structural Engineering or Earthquake
Engineering. Previous experience in structural design or structural
engineering research would be advantageous.

The research will involve a detailed investigation into the seismic
performance of composite systems consisting of tubular steel columns and
reinforced concrete flat slabs. An experimental study will be undertaken in
order to investigate the behaviour of representative structural assemblages
incorporating novel connection configurations. The work will also include
significant modelling and analytical aspects using nonlinear finite element
procedures. The findings from this investigation will be used to generate
information relevant for seismic design codes.

The studentship, which is funded by Corus within a collaborative
industrial/academic project, comprises a bursary for three years at around
£14,000 per year together with College fees at the home/EU rate.
International students may be considered for supplementary funding to cover
the difference between home/EU and oversees fees.

Informal enquiries can be made to Dr. A. Elghazouli (a.elghazouli@ imperial. ac.uk; Tel: 020 7594 6021) or Dr. R. Vollum (r.vollum@imperial. ac.uk; Tel: 020 7594 5992).

Applicants should submit a CV, including the names and contact details of
two referees (by post or e-mail), to:
Dr Ahmed Elghazouli
Head of Structures Section
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus
London SW7 2AZ
E-mail: a.elghazouli@ imperial. ac.uk

In addition, applicants will be required to submit a postgraduate
application form (which can be downloaded from:
http://www.imperial .ac.uk/P1397. htm).

*Closing date for applications: 15 January 2007*
