TitleDowling, Patrick Joseph: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date1993
DescriptionCitation typed
CitationProfessor Dowling has made outstanding contributions in the field of structural engineering, with emphasis on the design of steel plated strctures such as those used in bridge girder and ship hull design and on the inelastic stability and damage resistance of major structural steel components such as the legs and pontoons of offshore platforms. His research has also led to new insights into the strength of composite steel-concrete building, bridge and offshore construction. Outstandingly, much of these distingushed theoretical and experimental achievements on the fundamental engineering science of structural behaviour have been complemented by his very highly respected work as a major contributor to their effective incorporation in 1992 into the new Eurocode on the Design of Steel Structures, the complete development of which he steered over a period of ten years as Chairman of the relevant joint EEC/EFTA Committee.
