Dear all,
In our department there is a vacancy for a tenure-track assistant professor in robotics in structural engineering. More details and the application procedure can be found here: https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/werken-bij-tu-delft/vacatures/details?jobId=9028&jobTitle=Assistant%20Professor%20Robotics%20in%20Structural%20Engineering
Group of Materials and Environment at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, TU Delft, is looking for a motivated researcher with experience/knowledge in solid/experimental mechanics (with e.g., civil, mechanical, aerospace engineering background) to join their group as a PhD candidate. The work will focus on experimental characterization and understanding of composite action in a new class of cementitious composites which are reinforced with 3D printed reinforcement with a negative Poisson’s ratio.
A PhD position in multi-scale modelling of auxetic cementitious composites is open at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology. The PhD will be part of a larger ERC funded project and collaborate closely with other members of the project team.
Dear all,
There is a vacancy at the TU Delft for a position of PhD cantidate in the field of sustainable structural concrete. Full add is available at: https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/werken-bij-tu-delft/vacatures/deta…
Our group has recently published a study on micro-scale testing of short-term creep of cement paste using microcantilever testing. If you are interested, more details can be found at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341668724_Micro-cantilever_tes…;
Dear all,
Our research group has, for the first time, developed a cementitious material with auxetic behavior. This was achieved with the aid of negative based 3D printing. A recently published article on the topic can be viewed at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340586551_Cementitious_cellula…;

Dear all,
Our group at Delft University of Technology has recently published an article on micromechanical testing and modelling of blast furnace slag cement pastes. We present the use of innovative micromechanical models and experimental techniques on the case of a quasi-brittle, cement paste material. Interested readers can read the full text at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338420566_Micromechanical_test…

Our group has recently published an article in which, for the very first time, we measure the compressive strength of hydrated cement paste at multi-metre length scale. This study shows that microscopic strength of cement-based materials is many times higher compared to their macroscopic strength.

Dear all,
Our group at TU Delft has recently (co-)authored an article on crack control in concrete beams using strain hardening cementitious composite layer. Interested readers can access the article here (open access): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335589673_Strain_Hardening_Cem…

Use of phase change materials in building envelopes has potential to reduce the temperature fluctuations inside of buildings. This is a booming area of research. Our group has recently published an article in which we studied macro-encapsulated paraffinic materials for this application.
