摘要：	Keith F. Faherty, Ph.D., DistMASCE, author of a seminal book on wood engineering, a retired professor of civil engineering at Marquette University, and a former ASCE Wisconsin state president, has died at 89. He chaired ASCE's National Committee for Wood for three years. His book, Wood Engineering and Construction Handbook, was the complete source for information, formulas, procedures, and examples for designing virtually any type of wood structure or component. It has remained an indispensable handbook. Faherty received Honorary Member status in 1995. He attended the Wisconsin Institute of Technology, which in 1959 became the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He graduated with a degree in civil engineering in 1954, then moved to Genoa, Ohio, to work for U.S. Gypsum. In 1957 he chose to pursue a career in teaching and took a position as a professor at his alma mater. Faherty was the last surviving faculty member of the former Wisconsin Institute of Technology. While teaching at UW-Platteville, he obtained a master's degree from the University of Illinois in 1962 and later a doctorate from the University of Iowa, both in structural engineering. He left UW-Platteville in 1979 to teach at Fresno State University but returned to Wisconsin in 1981 to finish his academic career at Marquette University. He served as department chair at both UW-Platteville and Marquette. Faherty also served as the local ASCE section and branch chair in addition to his stint as Wisconsin state president. Over the years, he lectured internationally and authored numerous articles, papers, and texts based on his expertise in wood structures.
