hela Sverige Welcome to Linnaeus University! A place for knowledge, ideas and development. For growth potential and a belief in the future. In Småland and in the world.
The Department of Building technology works together with neighboring departments, Forest and wood technology, Built environment and energy technologies and Mechanical engineering, to create a research environment that includes topics related to structural design and material science. The home of this environment is the Faculty of technology. The environment includes about 60 employees, including 12 professors, and it is expanding considerably.
Admittance in: Building Technology
Employment: Employment as a doctoral student is limited according to HF chapter 5 § 7. The total employment period may not be longer than the equivalent postgraduate studies full-time for four years.
Placement city: Växjö, Sweden
Job description
Linnaeus University, Department of Building Technology, is searching for applicants for a 4-year full-time Ph.D. position. According to the Higher Education Ordinance a person appointed to a doctoral studentship should primarily devote himself/herself to his/her own studies. An appointee may, however, work to a limited extent with education, research, artistic development, and administration. However, before a doctoral degree has been awarded, duties of this kind may not comprise more than 20% of a full-time post.
Properly utilized wood is a useful, affordable and renewable material with a high industrial potential in the field of building construction. There is great interest in Sweden to explore new ways of using wood as the main load-bearing material in different types of multi-storey timber buildings. The potential of building multi-storey timber buildings has changed in recent decades. The construction of apartment buildings with fully prefabricated volume modules in wood is an industry sector that is rapidly increasing its capacity. A number of house manufacturers that have delivered volume modules, primarily for single family homes, are now expanding their production to multi-storey buildings up to 6-8 floors. This is a challenging task for producers and engineers, since the available design procedures for timber buildings have not yet been fully implemented for these types of buildings.
The PhD project deals with development of an efficient and flexible finite element model (based on coupled spring-beam-shell-solid elements) to analyse the three-dimensional structural behaviour of multi-storey buildings using prefabricated volume modules made by wooden stud-and-rail structure. The model will be used to study the global structural behaviour of various timber walls, volume modulus and modular-based multi-storey buildings when subjected to different types of loading (wind-, snow- and moisture-related loads). Additionally the model will be used for detailed analysis and design (using so-called adaptive modelling) of the most critical connections of the structure. The model need to be fully parametrized to be able to deal with varying (and correct) geometries that include windows, doors, openings, internal walls, advanced connections, support conditions etc.
To get necessary material data for the model a comprehensive experimental study of different mechanical connections will be performed. To validate the final FE-model a few full-scale tests on individual wall elements and volume modules will also be performed.
