PhD in Frost Heave

The project focuses on the mechanical behaviour of tailings and assessment of liquefaction risk. The research aims to evaluate variations of tailing composition in terms of segregation and densities reached due to change of deposition methods, investigate the mechanical behaviour of deposits placed with varied deposition methods, and assess risk of liquefaction based on the material behaviour./nThis is a full-time doctoral position placed in Luleå. Luleå University of Technology offers strong support through a qualified supervisory team and a structured doctoral education program leading to a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering. Active participation in the international research community is highly encouraged.
