Students who are interested in carrying out a master's project or thesis will be required to complete research on the following topics:
- Numerical modeling of nonlinear dynamic problems related to cable structures (guyed telecommunication towers, overhead power lines) subjected to seismic loads, loads due to sudden ice shedding, wind loads and loads due to component failure.
- Seismic vulnerability assessment of operational and functional components of buildings and building contents. Includes field work.
-
Seismic screening of buildings using established methods. Includes field work.
Individuals with a background in structural engineering (dynamics) are encouraged to apply. Knowledge of French is an asset to interact with local stakeholders during field work
