Civil Engineering
Jeff
Mulliken
Columbia, South Carolina Area
Registered professional engineer responsible for planning, design, and design management for transportation projects. I have extensive experience on both design-bid-build and design-build projects, and have effectively demonstrated the ability to be responsive to his clients and to effectively manage those projects from inception through construction.

My experience includes managing highway and aviation projects, overseeing environmental and traffic engineering studies, structural engineering design and analysis, highway structures, bridge widenings, seismic design, soil-structure interaction analysis, structural load rating analysis, and bridge rehabilitation.

Specialties: Project management, financial management, soil-structure interaction, structural dynamics, finite element analysis, and software development.

  • A Comprehensive Engineering Student Experience through the Senior Design Course

    American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Southeast 2015 Conference

    The stated purpose by law1 of the South Carolina State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors, as similarly required in other states, is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public by ensuring that only properly qualified and competent engineers are licensed to practice through the promotion of technical competency and ethical standards. Furthermore, engineering companies have a need for employees and highly regard new graduates that possess business related skills and qualities. These are weighty and often difficult matters for individuals transitioning from student to professional life. The University of South Carolina’s (USC) Capstone Senior Design (Senior Design) course in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is structured to provide a practical experience to give students a glimpse into the life of daily conduct of engineering practice beyond just the performance of design calculations. This article details the Senior Design format at USC and highlights the comprehensive nature of the course and the significant industry cooperation it fosters.

  • A Coupled Computational Method for Multi-Solver, Multi-Domain Transient Problems in Elastodynamics

    International Journal of Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering

    This work presents an efficient and stable methodology for the coupling of Finite Element Methods (FEM) and Boundary Element Methods (BEM) that is independent of the particular solver and allows for independent temporal discretizations among solvers. The approach utilizes substructuring and condensation methods extended to transient solutions and satisfies explicitly compatibility conditions and equilibrium of forces at the interfaces. Although the proposed approach has been developed in view of the soil-rail-vehicle dynamic interaction problem in High Speed Rail applications, it can be extended to any multi-domain, multi-phase transient problem.
