Jobbeschreibung
Project description and tasks:
In this cutting-edge Ph.D. project, digital fabrication technology will be utilized to develop innovative and advanced floor slab systems. The proposed slab system will comprise digitally fabricated concrete formwork, and cast-in-place reinforced concrete topping. The state-of-the-art post-tensioning technology by BBR will be used to improve the structural performance of the concrete formwork. In addition, topology optimization tools will be implemented to optimize the geometry of the formwork to manufacture slabs with free-form geometries to ensure significant material savings.
Your profile and selection criteria:
The candidate should have a Masters degree in Structural Engineering with a strong background in 3D concrete printing. Experience or interest in developing post-tensioning techniques for digital fabrication is also important. Additional skills, including experience in small and large-scale experimental testing, finite element modelling, and knowledge of structural topology optimization, would be an advantage.
A strong desire and motivation to find cutting-edge and innovative solutions in the field of structural engineering are essential. The candidate should have a clear interest in working in an application-oriented research environment in close collaboration with our industrial and academic partners. Good knowledge of English (oral and written) is mandatory. Knowledge of German would be an advantage.
We offer a multifaceted, challenging, and fully funded Ph.D. position for 48 months in a modern re-search environment with excellent infrastructure. The position is available as soon as possible but should be filled by no later than September 1, 2022
