For his path breaking contribution to the development of advanced probability theories to enhance fundamental understanding of the structural properties, fire performance, durability and safety of wood as a building material. This knowledge has been applied to the creation of design codes for wooden structures that take account of the variability and reliability of wood as a structural material. This work has also led to important new procedures for assessing the performance of wood materials in fire and thereby greatly expanded the range of application of wood in building construction
