and can offer a range of PhD level work focussing on applications of techniques and

interpretation of results. The use of such results to permit estimates of future lifetime prediction

will be important when planning maintenance and refurbishment programmes, as well as

identifying the cause and extent of damage and establishing continued serviceability. Such

projects are likely to involve a combination of theoretical studies, experimental work (possibly on

site) and computer modelling.

A wide range of non-destructive testing techniques are used within Civil Engineering to permit

in-situ evaluation and assessment of the nature and condition of structures. The Department has

extensive experience and expertise in this field and can offer a range of PhD level work focussing

on applications of techniques and interpretation of results. The use of such results to permit

estimates of future lifetime prediction will be important when planning maintenance and

refurbishment programmes, as well as identifying the cause and extent of damage and establishing

continued serviceability. M ỗi d ự án th ư ờng bao g ồm s ự k ết h ợp gi ữa nghi ên c ứu l ý thuy ết, c ác c ông t

IN-PLACE STRENGTH ASSESSMENT OF HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE

Supervisors: Professor J H Bungey and Dr M N Soutsos

A range of techniques are available to assess the in-place strength of structural concrete on the

basis of non-destructive and partially destructive testing. With the growing usage of High

Strength Concrete world-wide it is necessary to investigate the applicability of these established

techniques to these new materials (which may additionally incorporate fibres). to develop

guidelines for the most appropriate testing and interpretation procedures. This work would

involve theoretical studies, computer modelling and laboratory experimental studies.

APPLICATIONS OF SUB-SURFACE RADAR

Supervisors: Professor J H Bungey, and Dr S G Millard.

This approach to investigations within civil engineering has grown in popularity in recent years.

The department has a strong reputation amongst the world leaders in terms of research into

applications/interpretation especially in the field of assessment of concrete structures and bridge

scour problems. Current activities involve the use of neural networks and numerical modelling to

assist interpretation, and there is considerable scope for further projects in this area.
