Course content

By pursuing structural civil engineering research you'll join a successful research group. Our mission is to foster, promote and conduct research of international quality. We attract high quality graduates and researchers and train them to international standards.

We have a research group within the School of Engineering. Their main focus is on geotechnics and structures. They deal with the fundamental concepts of material behaviour, construction and design technology.

Our research has a central theme of Earth systems science engineering and management. It focusses on the concepts of:

• sustainability in construction
• climate change and the effects on civil engineering.

You'll have enthusiasm for research in the field of structures, civil engineering. Our current research includes:

• non-linear structural optimisation
• non-linear analysis of conventional and non-conventional structures and materials
• structural integrity assessment
• seismic design and analysis
• resilience of complex infrastructure networks.
