Professors Mishac Yegian and Akram Alshawabkeh were awarded a $1.2M NSF grant from the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) to use Induced Partial Saturation (IPS) to try and prevent ground liquefaction from occurring under structures during earthquakes.
Prof. Mishac Yegian of Northeastern University in collaboration with Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has conducted research on evaluation of a mechanical isolator to protect four MFA sculptures against earthquakes in Nagoya Japan.
Northeastern civil and environmental engineering professor Mishac Yegian recently completed a comprehensive seismic evaluation of the Brooklyn Bridge. The grand dame of bridges, he found, is made of sturdy stuff.
Prof. Mishac Yegian’s research made the cover of Civil Engineering Magazine. Prof. Yegian’s modeling of the Brooklyn Bridge evaluates its ability to withstand a 2,500-year seismic event.
