Bentley's VP Gus Bergsma Gets AISC Achievement Award
 EXTON,
PA, Apr 4, 2008 – Gus Bergsma, vice president of global sales, Bentley
Structural Engineering Group, has received the American Institute of Steel
Construction (AISC) Special Achievement Award. The award, which was
presented at the 2008 NASCC: The Steel Conference, in Nashville, Tenn.,
honors individuals who have made a positive and substantial impact on the
structural steel design and construction industry. Bergsma was recognized
for his work promoting software in Bentley’s RAM Structural System that
empowers structural engineers to analyze, design, and create structural
drawings of the gravity load-resisting members in steel buildings.
Scott Melnick, vice president of the AISC, said, “On behalf of the board
of directors of the AISC, I congratulate Gus on being among the select group
of forward-thinking professionals to receive this recognition since the
award’s inception in 1999. The AISC Special Achievement Award is presented
to individuals who have demonstrated notable achievements in structural
steel design, construction, research, or education. We are honoring Gus for
his pioneering work in promoting an advanced solution to structural steel
design that has helped revolutionize the computerized design of structural
steel buildings.”
Commenting on the award, Bergsma said, “I am very honored by this award
and accept it on behalf of my many colleagues formerly with RAM
International who are now in the Bentley Structural Engineering Group. Their
innovative work and dedication helped make RAM the leading software for,
among other things, structural steel analysis and design. I look forward to
advancing RAM’s features and capabilities at Bentley through continued
innovation, and sincerely believe the best is yet to come for the analysis,
design, and construction of steel buildings.”
Bergsma began his career as a structural engineer with Culp & Turner in
Southern California. He later became co-owner of RAM International and was
named a Bentley vice president when RAM was acquired by Bentley in 2005.
Bergsma holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from the
University of California, Berkeley, and is a licensed Professional Engineer.
