H. Krawinkler departed, a reference to the modern world earthquake engineering

Helmut Krawinkler, of Austrian origin but who taught for many years at Stanford University (USA), died a few days ago at Los Altos (CA), for an only recently diagnosed disease. Professor Krawinkler is universally known, among structural engineers, for his important contributions to the development of performance approach adopted by most modern building codes. Memorable are his workshops, held every ten years in Bled (Slovenia) together with Professor Peter Fajfar, that often redefined the goals of global seismic research. Many Italian researchers have had the good fortune to learn from him, who was not only a formidable scientist but also a person of great humanity. For him are the loving thoughts of the whole Reluis community.
