After graduation from the University of
California at Berkeley, and a career in the US Navy during
the Second World War, Lynn Beedle spent his entire professional
life at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. For many years
he was director of the Fritz Engineering Laboratory which
became world-famous during his tenure. For many of us, the
names Lehigh and Beedle are synonymous. Many of the experiments
and theories of the strength and stability of steel structures
that served as the basis for all modern steel design specifications
in the world were performed and developed there under his
leadership. His name is associated as a leader of three
intellectual activities that dominated the structural steel
engineering profession in the second half of the Twentieth
Century: 1) plastic analysis and design; 2) the ultimate
strength of axially loaded columns; and 3) tall building
planning and design. Lynn Beedle joined the SSRC soon after
its founding and he was one of the members who formulated
the questions and provided the answers to the pressing stability
concerns of the 1950's and 1960's. He served as technical
secretary in the early years, he was chairman of the Council,
and for many years he was its Director. He spent more than
half his life nurturing and guiding the Council, acting
as its spokesman here and abroad. Through his vision the
SSRC is one of the most esteemed American structural engineering
organizations in the world today.
