After the Second World War he was appointed Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol becoming Emeritus Professor in 1968. During this time he developed the concepts of safety in engineering, becoming an authority on metal fatigue in aircraft and the safe design of suspension bridges.He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1952. and knighted in 1956. In 1957 he was elected President of the Institution of Structural Engineers and in 1968 awarded their Gold Medal \"in recognition of his services to the Institutionand for originating a general philosophy of structural safety based on a statistical analysis of the probability of failure\". In 1968 his report on the Ronan Point disaster, when a system built tower block in London partly collapsed, caused the building industry to review its techniques and procedures. In 1979 he was presented with the James Alfred Ewing Medal by the Institution of Civil Engineers.He wrote a number of books based on his work, including:Concepts of Safety in Structural Engineering (1951)The Theory of Suspension Bridges (1957)The Safety of Structures (1966)The Works of Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1980)The non-linear behaviour of a suspended cable (1983)↑ ↑ ↑ ↑".
