Eminent Structural Engineer: Anton Tedesko (1903-1994)

摘要

I first met Anton (Fig. 1) in the late 1960s when I had just begun my small structural engineering practice in New York City. Every project was an important one for me and in my first use of what I thought was a simple structural system-precast, prestressed hollow core concrete plank-I encountered a terrifying situation. I was prepared to deal with issues of upward camber in the plank but when it was erected, instead of arching slightly upward, it deflected significantly downward.
