Excerpt: 

In 2001 he will has completed 50 years as IST Cathedratic Professor.
That school had a decision to devote oneself a solemn session one year after he died.
He is one of the most mediatic and loved Portuguese Engineer since ever by your job.
He became eternal by various structures and special for bridges, some of then became ex-libris for some places or regions.
To the traditional analysis way of structures study, with very limitation in that time, Edgar Cardoso came to support the experimental analysis in little models of structures to build, this thing allow him to achieve the best performances of the materials and building boldness structures.
To this advantage, Edgar Cardoso, jointed the pleasure for new designs and high esthetic feel for “real structures”.
