His most important research contribution in structural engineering was as a co-developer in the �Finite Element Method� (beginning with a classic paper in 1956 that he co-authored), which forever revolutionized the field of structural analysis and design, as well as many other disciplines that now uses this method for analysis. Clough significantly contributed to the field of earthquake engineering through teaching, research and consulting. List of 13 Legends of Earthquake Engineering as announced at 14WCEE (PDF file, 163 KB) The US awardees are as follows.įrom 1950-1995 Professor Ray W. PEER would like to congratulate the recipients for their overwhelming contribution to the earthquake engineering community. The final selection was based on a vote of the Asian-Pacific Network of Centers for Earthquake Engineering Research (ANCER) selection committee and resulted in the awarding of 13 international Legends of Earthquake Engineering. The "Legends" were selected from a slate of candidates who made significant contributions to the field of earthquake engineering and were nominated by a list of 125 earthquake organizations worldwide. Three of the five US awardees are prominent UC Berkeley Civil Engineering professors-the largest group of awardees from a single institution in the world.
Bolton Seed from the United States were recognized as "Legends of Earthquake Engineering" at a reception during the 14th World Conference of Earthquake Engineering held in Beijing, China in October.
