Lynn S. Beedle and Arthur Casagrande

摘要

At the turn of the twentieth century, Lynn Beedle was one of the best-known U.S. structural engineers and educators in the world. The founder of the highly respected Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), he was a long-time distinguished professor at Lehigh University and a pioneer in the field of structural steel research and design. As a member of the Structural Stability Research Council (SSRC), which he helped found and headed for nearly twenty-five years, he influenced industry-wide research developments and most of the major design and specification standards now followed in the area of stability for structures, especially those constructed of steel.
