Bruce Johnston was one of the original members of the Structural Stability Research Council, then named Column Research Council, and from its founding in 1944 to his death Bruce contributed mightily and continuously to all aspects of it. He was part of the group who formulated the important questions to be researched by the Council in the 1940-s and 1950-s. He made many important theoretical and experimental additions to the science and art of structural design against instability. The CRC Column equation, the CRC Interaction Equation, the ultimate strength theory of non-linear imperfect aluminum columns and many other innovations are attributable to him. He and his students performed many of the basic experiments on residual stresses, column and beam-column strengths and torsion strengths.
Johnston's greatest gifts to our profession were the first three editions of the CRC/SSRC Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures (1960, 1966 and 1976). As editor of these volumes he assembled the most comprehensive up-to-date knowledge on all aspects of structural stability of metal structures. These volumes served as the beacons for specification writing bodies and for structural engineers searching for answers to difficult design problems. During his careers at Lehigh University, the University of Michigan and the University of Arizona he guided the development of many of today's leaders in structural engineering.
