Open Fully-funded Ph.D. Position on Reuse of prestressed concrete infrastructure

University of Luxembourg

Prof. Numa Bertola

The Sustainable Concrete Structure Laboratory is looking for a new Ph.D. candidate. In this

fully-funded position, the Ph.D. candidate will work on using developing frameworks for

assessing the reuse potential of prestressed concrete structures.

As the successful candidate, you will contribute to a research project at the intersection of

engineering (concrete structures), material science (durability, mechanical behavior), data

science, and life-cycle analyses.

The aim of this Ph.D. project is to develop the first assessment method for evaluating reusing

potential of concrete infrastructures. The tasks comprise the development of a laboratory

campaign of full-scale reused prestressed concrete elements, the development of non-
