Abstract: Estimating deformations due to seismically induced liquefaction is often accomplished with a series of simplified uncoupled analyses. An alternative approach is presented in this paper that builds upon this common practice ...

Abstract: Earthquake-induced deformation of piled bridge abutments in approach embankments underlain by liquefied soils may be reduced by the restraining forces provided by the piles and bridge superstructure. Design methods accounting ...

Abstract: Deformation of bridge approach embankments caused by earthquake-induced liquefaction in the underlying soils can impose large force and displacement demands on the piled abutments. An equivalent static analysis (ESA) ...

Abstract: Rheological studies of lysed cell suspensions are performed with a magneto acoustic ball microrheometer. Two methods for lysing the cells are developed in order to provide cell volume concentrations ...

Abstract: Structural reliability of electronic packages has become an increasing concern for a variety of reasons including the advent of higher integrated circuit densities, power density levels, and ...

Abstract: The Architectural Engineering Program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has benefitted from forming partnerships with professionals in the building design industry. These relationships have exposed students to industry ...
