This year, UC Berkeley's Cal Seismic Design team gathered virtually to compete at the annual Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) Seismic Design Competition. EERI's SDC promotes earthquake engineering among undergraduates through the innovative design, analysis, and construction of a wooden building model able to withstand challenging design criteria and constraints.
Ninyo & Moore Geotechnical and Environmental Sciences Consultants are actively seeking professionals in one or more of its California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Texas offices.
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Maya Carrasquillo (she/her/hers) will join our faculty as an Assistant Professor, starting July 1, 2021. Dr. Carrasquillo's research is at the nexus of stormwater management, environmental justice and sustainable development. More broadly, her research is aimed at using a systems approach to evaluate critical infrastructure towards more just and equitable design and implementation solutions, primarily in historically marginalized albeit historically resilient communities.
The Historical and Masonry Structures (HMS) group of the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE), University of Minho, Portugal, plans to open a PhD student position (duration of the contract planned for 3 years) within the STAND4HERITAGE project, which is funded by a European Research Council Advanced Grant.
The position will focus on the definition of a set of new standards combined with an integrated analytical approach for the out-of-plane seismic assessment and subsequent intervention design of heritage masonry buildings. This is the main challenge of S4H, since it introduces rational rules for a task that has been approached mainly empirically.
Necessary qualifications: MSc degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent with some background in structural and seismic engineering. Additional experience in programming (e.g. Matlab, Python, Grasshopper), numerical simulations or similar qualifications would be considered an asset. Students completing their MSc degree this summer are invited to demonstrate their interest in the position.
If interested, please send your motivation letter and your résumé with a copy of the BSc and MSc certificate to Dr Marco Francesco Funari (marcofrancesco.funari@civil.uminho.pt) until Wednesday, June 23th (23:59 GMT). Students completing the MSc degree this summer must provide together with the BSc Diploma, the current courses certificate and GPA.
Despite many challenges of the last year, UC Berkeley's Cal Steel team came together virtually and in-person to compete in the annual American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Student Steel Bridge Competition. AISC's Student Steel Bridge Competition challenges teams to develop a scale-model steel bridge, allowing students to extend their classroom knowledge to a practical and hands-on steel-design project that grows their interpersonal and professional skills, encourages
