Overview
The school of Civil Engineering at University of Sydney has a scholarship for a student interested in pursing a PhD degree in advanced analysis and design of locally unstable steel structures. The scholarship is supported by an Australia Research Council Discovery Project grant.
Objective of this program
The objective of the PhD study is to investigate the influence of local buckling on the global behavior of steel frames. It is known that local buckling reduces the stiffness of the frame and leads to amplified 2nd order effects. Experimental tests will be conducted and methods for accounting for the effects of local buckling will be devised, culminating in the formation of practical guidelines for the reliability-based design of steel frames which suffer local buckling in their ultimate limit state.
Eligible Candidates
Applicants must have an Honours Bachelor degree in engineering and a sound knowledge of structural engineering. The scholarship stipend is $AUD 22,500 per annum in the first year, and may be held for three years subject to satisfactory progress. Local and International students are encouraged to apply. The scholarship does not cover tuition fees for international students but a separate tuition waiver scholarship may be provided for international students by the School of Civil Engineering.
Amount awarded:
$22,500 per annum
Application guide:
Further information can be obtained from Prof. Kim Rasmussen, School of Civil Engineering, The University of Sydney, Sydney NSW 2006 (Phone: 02 9351 2125 02 9351 2125, Email: Kim.Rasmussen@sydney.edu.au). Applications should be sent directly to Prof. Kim Rasmussen at the above address and should include curriculum vitae, a copy of an academic transcript, and the names and contact details of at least two referees.
Application deadline: 01 April 2010
