beams of coupled wall buildings, and developed the concept of diagonal reinforcementa simpleyet elegant solution that greatly reduced potential for damage and increased safety by increasingthe controlled deformation capacity. This technique has been widely implemented in practice.

Together with Bob Park he developed and extended the concepts of seismic capacity design to tell the structure how to behave as he put it. In this approach to seismic design, a strengthhierarchy is provided to the structure so that inelastic action under seismic attack isconcentrated in carefully defined and detailed locations of the structure. The strength hierarchyensures that regardless of the characteristics of the earthquake, more vulnerable parts of the

structure are always protected. Capacity design has now become a corner stone of the seismicdesign codes of most countries, though New Zealand still leads the world in its application.

Tom, together with his colleagues and students investigated in great detail the seismic behaviourof the joint region between beams and columns in frame buildings. This region had been largelyignored by designers and researchers alike, as being of little importance to seismic performance.His carefully designed experiments showed that beam/column joints were in fact highlyvulnerable to damage, and that their behaviour was complex. Design approaches weredeveloped to describe this behaviour, and to ensure that beam/column joints would notcompromise the seismic response of the structure as a whole.

He recognised the logical error in treating torsion of buildings under seismic attack as an elasticphenomenon, and developed rational alternative design approaches, based on inelastic response.He continued to write elegant, insightful research papers in this and allied areas into his lateseventies and early eighties. This work on torsion is still at the forefront of knowledge in thefield, and is the basis for ongoing current research in seismic regions of the world. This is a veryincomplete list of topics in which he made highly significant contributions.

Results of his research efforts included numerous technical papers, and three co-authored textbooks, two in English, one in German, which have internationally become the standard texts forunderstanding and implementing seismic design of building structures, and which have beentranslated into many languages. He put great efforts into contributions to design codes, both inNew Zealand and overseas, preferring to be a corresponding member. His extensive efforts inthis regard are reflected in New Zealand seismic design codes which are considered by many tobe the most advanced in the world, and which have influenced code developments in many othercountriesparticularly Japan, Canada and Europe. New Zealands reputation for seismic designwas also recognised in the significant number of joint international committees examiningdifferences in seismic design approaches and philosophy, on which Tom served. He collaboratedwith many researchers in the worlds seismic regions, and was in great demand as a speaker, inthe United States, Japan, South America and Europe.

He received numerous honours, both civic and technical, including the Order of the BritishEmpire in New Zealand, The Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary, Fellowship of the RoyalSociety of New Zealand, and honorary doctorates from universities in Switzerland, Hungary,Romania and Argentina, and a great number of national and international awards for researchexcellencetoo many to list.

Tom was primarily a teacher, researcher, and designer, and had no great love for administration,which he felt got in the way of his research. In fact he avoided university administrative dutieswhere possible. Nevertheless, he was pressed into a few important positionsfirst as Presidentof the New Zealand National Society for Earthquake Engineering (as it was then named) between1979 and 1981, and later as President of the International Association for EarthquakeEngineering between 1992 and 1996, a great honour for him personally, and also for NewZealand. It was typical of Tom that when he did accept an administrative position he carried itout with insight and dedication.

Tom was a brilliant, charismatic teacher, as is attested by all of his victims as he called thosestudents fortunate enough to attend his design classes. He worked them shamelessly, expectingthem to spend at least twice or three times as much time on his courses as on any other course(to the occasional dismay of lecturers of other subjects), but the students loved it. His clearinsight into structural performance and his emphasis of the different roles of analysis and designenlightened his students. The outcome of this was a generation of New Zealand design engineerswho understand structures at a level that is envied in other countries. Like all brilliant teachershe had a natural sense of the theatrical. No dry mumbling into the blackboard for Tom. Hislectures were full of action. He used his partial deafness (a result of his war time experiences) asa theatrical prop, using it as an excuse to storm up the lecture room steps as though on acavalry charge again, to place his ear inches from the mouth of some student who had thetemerity to question an equation or a concept.

As a supervisor of graduate research, he was unstinting in his generosity with his time, both tohis own students, and to any other graduate student who wished to discuss their research withhim. No matter how busy he was he would always make time for students. This generosity alsoextended to correspondence. Tom was a great written communicator, (though sometimes in hisown brand of Hungarian English) and would write voluminous comments when presented with adraft technical paper that the author thought might be of interest to Tom, or might benefit fromhis comments. One never had the paper returned with a terse comment such as veryinteresting or nonsense from Tom. You got a detailed examination and critique of the workthat not uncommonly exceeded the original work in length, and which would have taken days to

prepare. Because of this conscientious attitude to review, he was in constant demand from thetop international earthquake engineering journals.

Tom was a gregarious man; he loved life, loved company, and loved humour, which tended topermeate all his social interactions. He loved good food and good wine, and was at his sparklingbest in company with a glass of good wine in one hand, and a good joke in the otherso tospeak. His store of jokes, some of which were perhaps not in the best of taste, was endless.

It is my good fortune to have known Tom for 47 years: first as one of his victims in 1962,then, after a 10-year hiatus, as a colleague at the University of Canterbury, assisting him in thedesign classes, and in collaborative research, and subsequently as a co-author of one of hisbooks. The experience of writing a book with Tom was for me one of the formative highlights of my professional career, and one that bonded us closely. The process was very interactive, full of intense discussions, disagreements and resolutions, and Toms intellectual rigour has had alasting influence on me.

The death of Toms wife Herta in 2007 had a profound effect on him, from which he never fullyrecovered. He is survived by his three children: Dorothy, Esther and Gregory, and sixgrandchildren.
