The Institute of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (IGG-TUBS) of the Technische Universität Braunschweig is looking for a research associate (m/f/d) to do research on the topic "Investigation of the hydraulic-mechanical interaction between structures, soil and water".
Particularly in coastal, but also in offshore areas, extensive interactions between structures, soil and water occur, which must be understood for the safe design of coastal protection structures but also of foundations, such as pile foundations for offshore wind turbines. As part of the planned research, the hydraulic-mechanical behavior of the structure and soil under flow loading by water and the associated interactions and phenomena will be investigated mainly experimentally but also supplemented by numerical simulations. Cooperation with the Leichtweiß Institute for Hydraulic Engineering (LWI) and the Coastal Research Center (FZK), which operates the Large Wave Flume (GWK) in Hanover, is envisioned for this purpose.
The Institute of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (IGG-TUBS) of Technische Universität Braunschweig is looking for a research associate (m/f/d) to do research on the topic "Tool-Soil Interactions in Mechanized Tunneling".
Modern mechanized tunneling is characterized by the use of tunnel boring machines with complex process technology for excavation, soil conveying, and support of the tunnel face. Despite advanced technology, many tunneling projects, especially in loose rock formations, face challenges due to mechanical wear and adhesion of the excavation and conveying equipment. The position aims to contribute to applied research by quantifying and predicting these issues through the development of practical experiments and models. The research will initially focus on decoupling adhesion and wear phenomena, examining them separately within the framework of experiments to be developed.
The Institute of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (IGG) of the TU Braunschweig is continuously looking for student assistants to work on tasks in the laboratory, teaching, and/or research.
