Full-Scale Testing of Structural Concrete at the National Fire Research Laboratory

Due: May 1, 2025

Description

The National Fire Research Laboratory at the NIST has expanded its fire research facility to enable simultaneous thermal (20 MW fire) and mechanical loading of multi-story buildings; making it a unique experimental venue and fantastic opportunity for groundbreaking research and publication. Experimental and theoretical investigations are needed on the behavior of full-scale reinforced concrete structural elements under massive, real-fire loading to study scaling effects and to characterize the complex processes that drive member...

Grantor Contact InformationMatthew Stanton Hoehler, phone: 301.975.8517Grantor Emailmatthew.hoehler@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
