It is to George Winter that we are indebted for the Council's name --and its change from CRC to SSRC. It was during his tour as Chairman of the Council when it was clear that its mission was to be a forum for more than just columns. In unanimity of agreement, Structural Stability Research Council was thus born. George Winter's earliest contribution to CRC was in connection with one of its very first "committees" -- treating thin-walled cold-formed members. He was the world authority in the field and his leadership of that committee benefited the Council greatly in those early years.
He was a unique person. His grasp of the fundamentals of structural behavior was so complete that he always seemed the first one to come to the technical essence of a problem. Beyond that, his leadership in the "administrative" affairs of SSRC was notable.
He was the only person to serve on both the AISC and the ACI code committees. Vienna born, Winter was affiliated with Cornell University for practically his entire life, his research lending it a prestige not duplicated in many other institutions. He was one of the great engineering teachers of our time. He was identified in 1999 by ENR as one of the 125 "Top People" in the construction industry.
$120.00 to $299.00 per year
Each year, members of the Winter Society will receive certificates suitable for framing.
