Professor Heyman has been a leading figure in the field of Structural Theory for over half century. He was member of the famous team of Professor John Baker wich in the 1940's and 1950's contributed decisively to the establishment of the Plastic Theory of steel structures. When, in the 1960's, the plastic theory was well established and being applied in current practice, Professor Heyman turned his interests to historic masonry structures. The field, considered then as marginal, was in a very unsatisfactory state, having progressed little since the last nineteenth century. He demonstrated that masonry structures were also "plastic" and that the theory and the Fundamental Theorems of plasticity could be translated for application to masonry structures, insofar as the material satisfied the conditions wich are the essence of masonry construction: masonry must work in compression, as adjacent blocks of Stone are unable to resist tensión. Professor Heyman then extracted the main corolary of the Safe Theorem: the "approach of equilibrium". Any structure buitl with a "ductile" material (Steel, but also, Wood, reinforced concrete and masonry) will not fall down when subjected to a set of imposed loads if there exists a possilbe state of equilibrium that the material and structure can accomodate. For a masonry structure the forces must be in compression and this imposes some geometrical restictions: it is thus the form wich guarantees the stability of an arch, a vault or a building. This was the basic knowledge of the Medieval Masons wich allowed them to build the Gothic Cathedrals: they employec geometrical designs rules. The work of Professor Heyman iluminates not only fundamental aspects of structural theory, it allows us to understand and appreciate the whole building patrimony. The importance of a well-founded and reliable theory of masonry structures should not be underestimated: only with a deep insight is it possible to understand, respect and preserve our architectural and engineering heritage.
