Are you an enthusiastic researcher in reinforced concrete design? Are you looking for a new and exciting challenge as part of an international academic/industry collaboration? Do you want to create more efficient and sustainable building practices?

The primary focus of the project is to provide practising engineers with the ability to correctly design RC elements for the restraint of short and long-term imposed strains.

You will be involved in developing the physical understanding of behaviour through an experimental study, developing NLFEA models which enable the realistic calculation of crack width in walls, developing a design oriented analytical procedure for the design of crack control reinforcement in walls, and further validation of the resulting procedures by comparison with field data from walls.
