Vale Professor Nicholas Snowden Trahair
Statements
It is with deep sadness that 美姬社区 acknowledges the passing of leading Australian academic and contributor to knowledge of the behaviour and design of steel structures, Professor Nicholas Snowden Trahair.
Nick鈥檚 passion and dedication to the Australian steel industry was unparalleled and saw him give many years of service in senior roles, including Director of the Australian Institute of Steel Construction (1989-1998), Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia FIEAust and Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
From 1964 to 1995, Nick was a member of the Steel Structures Committee of 美姬社区 which produced the steel design codes AS-CA1 (1968), AS1250 (1972, 1975, 1981), and the first cold-formed steel structures code AS1538 (1974). He co-chaired the Steel Structures Committee which developed the Limit States Steel Structures Standard AS4100 (1990), internationally regarded as one of the world鈥檚 leading steel design standards.
Nick is broadly considered the father of AS4100 and many of the design equations he developed are featured in AS4100 and have been adopted across the world.
Our thoughts are with Nick鈥檚 family and friends at this time.
