Student research opportunities

The Centre for Built Infrastructure Research (CBIR) seeks students interested in addressing the following main focus areas:

• use of smart materials for control of civil engineering structures
• damage detection in civil engineering structures using modal data and artificial neural Networks
• earthquake engineering
• new technologies to facilitate the cost-effective management of highway bridge assets
• innovative engineered timber buildings
• investigation of appropriate technologies to improve seismic resistance of mudbrick housing
• development of new-generation autoclaved fibre-cement building materials using waste fired clay products
• 'Green Cement': the development of eco-friendly, novel construction material.

Students will undertake collaborative research and development projects with industry and forming partnerships with leading Australian and international research organisations for maximum impact.
