SAFER Barrier

This program will initially incorporate the National Bridge Research Organization, Midwest Roadside Safety Program, and the Center for Infrastructure Research to conduct structural research related to transportation. The program will incorporate three very active research laboratories - structural research labs at UNL and the Peter Kiewit Institute on the Omaha campus and the Outdoor Proving Grounds Laboratory at the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility in Lincoln. The Structural and Safety Engineering Program will initially focus on bridge and roadside safety research and is expected to include nine faculty from the College of Engineering.
