This PhD research aims to optimize building vibration isolation systems by reducing concrete use while effectively managing lateral forces and ground pressure. The study seeks to mitigate ground and structure-borne noise, improving urban living quality by reducing health impacts such as sleep disturbances. Using Finite Element modelling, laboratory, and field testing, the research will refine structural elements and isolation systems to enhance material efficiency and performance. The ideal candidate will be a civil or structural engineer with expertise in structural dynamics, experimentation, and Finite Element modelling, with a focus on supporting net-zero construction practices and urban well-being.
Research Objective: The key objective of this PhD is to quantify and optimise the various ways of handling lateral forces and ground pressure on building vibration isolation systems with the aim to minimise the amount of concrete required. This research will contribute to enhancing urban living quality by mitigating the impact of ground and structure-borne noise on health and well-being, specifically reducing annoyance and sleep disturbances. Additionally, it will support the construction industry’s transition to net-zero practices.
Methodology: The research will involve Finite Element models to simulate various scenarios, along with laboratory and field testing to validate the models. The study will explore key areas related to building design, including the effects of soil/ground pressure and the optimization of structural elements such as columns and cores, to improve performance and material efficiency for various isolation scenarios. The goal is to produce practical, validated design recommendations and performance prediction tools.
Requirements for the PhD Candidate: The ideal candidate will be a civil or structural engineer with a strong interest/background in structural dynamics, measurements / experimentation and experience in Finite Element modelling techniques. All combined with an overall desire to support a better world through the construction industry achieving net-zero and enhancing quality of life in the urban/city environment.
