PhD candidate for Constitutive Modelling of Rate-Effects in Sensitive Clays

Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB

We are looking for a PhD candidate fascinated by the response of sensitive clays, such as quick clays that can change from solid to liquid with small environmental perturbations.  We want to be able to understand how a changing environment will affect the creep rates in sensitive clay slopes, and the probability of triggering catastrophic failures. We offer access to unique experimental data and computational tools developed by our research team for addressing a timely societally relevant...
