1973年加入了斯坦福教师的奥地利本地人Krawinkler，于4月16日在加利福尼亚州Los Altos突然死亡。，在治疗脑肿瘤期间。他是72岁。

Krawinkler—who held the Blume post until 2007, when he became professor emeritus—developed methodologies that changed how engineers evaluate seismic safety and damage potential. His work in the 1990s laid the foundation for the sophisticated practice of performance-based seismic design. He had "amazing" insights into non-linear structural behavior during ground motion, says Deierlein.

In February, Krawinkler was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.4月初，他收到了地震工程研究所的乔治W. Housner奖章。
