In reply to PhD Opportunity in Next-generation Metafoundations for Enhanced Seismic Protection of Nuclear Power Plants considering Soil-Structure Interaction

Are you interested in pushing the boundaries of earthquake, geotechnical engineering and metamaterials? This PhD opportunity focuses on designing cutting-edge 3D seismic protection solutions for next generation Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

The path leverages the dynamic interaction of NPPs with the surrounding soil, altering the frequency/amplitude-dependent features of the overall response, to enhance seismic protection, with reference to an innovative metamaterial-based foundation typology. This technique is based on the use of shallow metafoundations, inspired by locally resonant metastructures, particularly prone to limit earthquake-induced effects under multi-component ground motion.
