Early in his career, Helmut focused on experimental research, combining his knowledge of structural behavior, earthquake engineering, and design to make fundamental advances in engineering research and practice. His groundbreaking research on the seismic design and nonlinear behavior of steel-framed structures established principles that underlie 151

He was among the younger participants in the early USJapan cooperative research programs on seismic design for steel and reinforced concrete structures, through which he made many lasting friendships with Japanese collaborators. His expertise grew as he made fundamental contributions to experimental methods and the development of major earthquake engineering testing facilities throughout the world.

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Helmut published many groundbreaking and influential papers, including reports of three workshops on performance-based earthquake engineering that he coorganized with his longtime friend Peter Fajfar of the University of Ljubljana. The workshops, held at Lake Bled in Slovenia in 1992, 1997, and 2004 as part of the socalled Bled Workshops, engaged researchers from around the world in discussions that helped formulate the research agenda and the basis for performance-based earthquake engineering.
