University of Sydney Postgraduate Scholarship in Structural Engineering
A full-time postgraduate scholarship is available for an enthusiastic candidate with a good honours degree in civil engineering or mechanical engineering to undertake research studies leading to a PhD in structural engineering.
The corrosion and subsequent degradation of steel infrastructure is a substantial financial burden to Australia, and is predicted to increase over coming decades. Oxidation associated with direct or indirect exposure to salt-water is a particular problem in Australia, where the majority of the population and infrastructure resides near the coast. The research project is in the area of ‘Fibre composite rehabilitation of corroded steel structures’, and will investigate novel rehabilitation methods for steel structures, using bonded fibre-resin composites to recover the lost strength resulting from corrosion and degradation.
