Abstract

Engineering in the City of the Century: A Celebration of Structural Engineering Achievements in 20th Century Chicago

This dataset has been created to preserve the “Engineering in the City of Century” lecture series, which was dedicated to the memory of John E. Goldberg at Purdue University in 1998. The lecture series was organized by Robert J. Frosch, Nancy L. Gavlin and Mete A. Sozen with the sponsorship of the Goldberg Family, Bryan A. Erler, Purdue University School of Civil Engineering, the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois and the Structural Engineers Foundation. The lectures were also collected into a book named "Engineering in the City of the Century: A Celebration of Structural Engineering Achievements in 20th Century Chicago" by Mete A. Sozen. The lectures included in the dataset are presented in the table below.
