Charles Roeder was born in Hershey, PA. He is married (wife - Nancy) and a has one child (son - Michael). He has a BSCE from the University of Colorado, Boulder, an MSCE from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and a PhD. from the University of California, Berkeley. He worked in the building construction industry for several years, and he also has also worked as a structural design engineer for the construction of offshore platforms. He served for two years in the US Army in Fort Polk, Louisiana, and Vietnam. He has been on the faculty of the University of Washington since 1977. He is a registered professional engineer in Colorado and Washington.
He is a member of a number of professional organizations including the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Institute of Steel Construction, the American Welding Society, the Earthquake Engineers Research Institute, and the Structural Engineers Association of Washington. He is presently a member of the Board of Directors and Corporate Secretary of the NEES Consortium, and a member of the Executive Committee for the ASCE/Structural Engineering Institute. He was a participant in the preparation of the FEMA Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings, and he was the Team Leader for Connection Performance on the FEMA supported SAC Steel Project. He was the co-author of the AASHTO Specifications (with John Stanton) for the design of bridge bearings. He has served as chair of national technical committees including the TRB A2C02 Steel Bridge Committee, the ASCE Seismic Effects Committee and the ASCE Technical Administrative Committee on Dynamic Effects. He has received the 1979 ASCE J. James R. Croes Medal and the 1984 ASCE Raymond C. Reese Research Prize for his past research and publications. He received the 2002 AISC Special Achievement Award, and the 2002 Puget Sound Engineers Council Academic Engineer of the Year.
He has performed a wide range of research related to bridges and the seismic performance of steel and composite buildings. Present research studies include development of design methods for improved seismic performance of concentrically braced frames and their gusset plate connections, evaluation of pile to wharf connections for port facilities, and development of economical and efficient concrete filled tube applications.
