On the 70th birthday of Gerhard Sedlacek

On November 12, 2009, Gerhard Sedlacek, former professor for steel construction at the RWTH Aachen, turned 70.

On behalf of Ernst & Sohn, the "Stahlbau" editorial team has the pleasurable task of congratulating Professor Gerhard Sedlacek on the occasion of his 70th birthday. We also wish to thank him for his contribution to further developing literature on steel construction in general and in particular the journals "Stahlbau" and "Steel Construction – Design and Research". Professor Sedlacek took over as the editor of "Stahlbau" after Professor Joachim Lindner in 1993 and held this post until 1995. As a member of the editorial committee of "Stahlbau" and of the editorial board for "Steel Construction – Design and Research" he supports the editorial team with his help and advice.

We wish Gerhard Sedlacek health and happiness in the years to come.
