News Flash
Collaboration with KICT
IC2E is pleased to announce that Dr Hyu Shin, Senior Geotechnical Researcher at the Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT), Seoul has joined the Centre as a Distinguished Visitor for a period of one year. During this period he will collaborate with Professor Gyan Pande and other members of the Technical Committee of IC2E, to conduct a comprehensive survey of research trends in the field of convergence technologies in geotechnical engineering that incorporate condition monitoring, CT-imaging, numerical modelling and computational intelligence.
Dr Shin is based at the Centre for Civil & Computational Engineering at the Swansea University, U.K. Dr Shin's visit has been facilitated by a research grant worth US$ 120,000 from KICT to IC2E.

Position Closed:
Postdoctoral Fellow
Starting date: February 1, 2011 (or sooner)
Salary: approx. Can $40,000/yr (taxable)
Requirements for the position: the candidate is expected to have a considerable knowledge of fundamentals of plasticity (including the basic background in modeling of chemo-mechanical interaction) and non-linear numerical techniques
Project description
The project is related to the analysis of aging effects in reinforced concrete structures within nuclear facilities and the assessment of the corresponding safety-related margins. It involves three main aspects, viz. formulation of constitutive relations for the description of reinforced concrete suffering from chemical/physical degradation, implementation of these relations in a finite element code and extensive numerical applications pertaining to assessment of integrity of various structural elements of a nuclear generating station and examination of different refurbishing strategies.
The main aspects of the age-related degradation examined within this project will include the continuing alkali-aggregate reaction in concrete and the corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Both meso- and macroscale approaches will be developed. |

Computational Engineering help line
IC2E intends to provide a Help line service to the engineering community worldwide. At this stage a partial service in the area of Computational Geotechnics is being launched. It will operate from 9.30 am to 10.30 am BST, Mondays to Fridays except holidays. Academics, students, researchers and engineers are welcome to have a free chat with Professor Gyan Pande during this period. All callers will have to register to become members of the IC2E.
