Browse Programs Admission InformationThe main objective of this doctoral program is to create a hub for exchange and innovation among PhD students to enhance the state of the art in various topics related to the application of composite structures and materials in civil engineering, in line with environmental requirements and sustainable development. In recent years, the use of composite materials and structures in civil engineering works has advanced rapidly. These high-performance structures, made of high-strength fibrous materials embedded in a polymer matrix, offer unique properties that make them extremely attractive for structural applications. Non-corrosive composites have favorable strength-to-weight ratios, good fatigue behavior, electromagnetic neutrality, and allow for easy handling and installation. Moreover, composite structures can be combined in many ways with various matrices, providing optimal solutions to a wide range of structural problems—mechanical, physical, and thermal. This doctoral program also serves a socio-economic purpose by aiming to reduce environmental impact through the design of cost-effective new composite structures and the study of their physical, thermal, and mechanical behavior.
