Gould receives award from engineering group
By Tony Fitzpatrick Phillip L. Gould, Ph.D., the Harold D. Jolley Professor of Civil Engineering, was recently presented the 2002 Professional Recognition Honor Award by the St. Louis section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The award recognizes the importance of professional attainment in the advancement of the science and profession of engineering. It is presented annually to a member of the St. Louis section of ASCE. It is given to an engineer who has made substantial contributions to the engineering profession and the St. Louis section, including lasting achievement in improving the conditions under which civil engineers practice, improving educational programs and in guiding young civil engineers in the formative stages of their careers. Gould has been a member of the St. Louis community since 1966, when he joined the civil engineering faculty at the University. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering from the University of Illinois and a doctorate from Northwestern University. Between earning his master’s and doctoral degrees, he worked as a structural engineer engaged in the design of institutional and multistory buildings and highway bridges. Gould served as department chair for two decades. His research activities have centered on thin shell structures with applications to finite element analysis, biomedical engineering, earthquake engineering, soil-structure interaction and the design of hyperbolic cooling towers. He is the author of books in the fields of thin shell analysis, earthquake and wind engineering, introductory elasticity and finite element analysis. He has been published in many journals. He has been active in several professional organizations, particularly the ASCE, the American Concrete Institute and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. He currently serves as the program coordinator for education for the National Science Foundation-sponsored Mid-America Earthquake Center. He is also the chairman of the Missouri Seismic Safety Commission and a Director of the Structural Engineers Association of Kansas and Missouri. |
