At the ETH in the Institute of Structural Engineering (IBK) since 1969 Professor Hugo Bachmann has been active in in teaching and research in reinforced and prestressed concrete as well as in the design of bridges and buildings. Beginning in the late 70ies, he concentrated on the scientific field of structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, and he headed a group of collaborators and doctoral students until he retired in October 2000. The group was wellknown in the structural dynamics and earthquake engineering community world-wide and gained a high international reputation. In particular, 25 doctoral thesis, many research reports and numerous other publications such as books and articles in scientific journals were produced in the following fields:
As a modern tool, the new ETH earthquake simulator located on the strong floor of the structural laboratory HIF at Hönggerberg campus was developed and put into operation in 1995. As a "shake table" it allows realistic experimental research work to be carried out and is also used for teaching purposes.
Hugo Bachmann was the leader for the elaboration and introduction of the first modern Earthquake code in Switzerland. His Textbooks and other publications were translated into many languages. 2004 he was the initiator of the Swiss Foundation for structural dynamics and earthquake engineering. Hugo Bachmann received many honors, among them an honoree Doctor (Dr. h.c.) from the University of Kassel and the honoree membership of the International Association for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE) and the European Association for Earthquake Engineering (EAEE).
Prof. Bachmann continues to serve as a fiduciary expert and consulting engineer for special questions and tasks in structural engineering. In particular, he accompanies projects of Building owners and engineering offices involving structural vibration problems, the seismic design of new structures and the seismic upgrading of existing structures.
