||
|
An Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) Industry Scholarship is available in the Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University, Clayton Campus, to study towards a PhD. The details of the scholarship are as follows: Project Title:LP0776702 Securing Longevity of Reinforced Concrete Infrastructure Through Enhanced Cathodic Protection Design.QualificationsCivil or Materials Engineering graduate with Honours 1 or Honours 2A degree. Applicant must be an Australian Citizen, Australian permanent resident or a New Zealand Citizen.Travel and Relocation Allowance$505 per adultThesis Allowance$840 (PhD thesis)Project DescriptionCathodic protection (CP) is a key method of restoring corrosion-damaged maritime infrastructure. Uncertainties exist, however, with both design and how ongoing performance of CP is monitored this project will: (i) Clarify CP design; benefiting future designers and contributing significantly to the update of Australian Standard AS 2832.5-2002. the design principles of CP are much debated and uncertainty exists on how ongoing performance of installed CP should be monitored; (ii) Provide a rare opportunity to collect and analyse data from a major CP installation at Swanson Dock, Port Melbourne, and contribute to its longevity; (iii) Develop sound theoretical understanding of CP criteria used to assess the effectiveness of an installation, providing more rigorous procedures for verifying the performance of CP systems, and improving non-destructive tests and assessment criteria.The project is planned for 3 years' duration, consisting of a full-time postgraduate research student (Australian Postgraduate Awards Industry (APA(I)) studying for a PhD at Monash University.
