Workplan: HELIPORT is a joint academic-industry research project between CERIS and the SME, Hélica which has the aim of contributing to the wider fundamental understanding of this type of helical steel piles (HSP) and the development of a rational basis for the design of HSP based on Limit State and Sustainability principles, while also promoting the technique through the development of design guidance and demonstrating this through case studies supported by Life Cycle Analysis comparisons with other techniques.

The research student will be primarily involved in the formulation and validation of numerical models through the back-analysis of field tests on single HSP and HSP groups and the extension of these analyses to other configurations. In addition, there will be opportunities to be involved in field and laboratory load testing of helical piles.
