  • Civil Engineers' Commemorative Plaques
    CIVIL ENGINEERS’ COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUES Biographical notes on the civil engineers whose names are commemorated on the façade of the Civil Engineering Building CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IMPERIAL COLLEGE ------------ LONDON 1995 © Department of Civil Engineering Imperial College 1987 Revised 1995 FOREWORD The term civil engineer appeared for the first time in the Minutes of the Society of Civil Engineers, formed in 1771. In using this title, founder members of the society were recognising a new profession in Britain which was distinct from the much earlier profession of military engineer. John Smeaton, whose name appears among those on the plaques, was among the founder members. The Society, which still exists, was later renamed the Smeatonion Society of Civil Engineers after principal founder, John Smeaton, and was the precursor of, but distinct from, the Institution of Civil Engineers, which was formed in 1818, with Thomas Telford as its first President. The transformation of Britain from an agrarian to an industrial society during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was made possible only through the skill and ingenuity of civil engineers. From the beginning of the eighteenth century the quantity and range of engineering work gained momentum, encompassing river navigation schemes, drainage of marshes, work on docks and harbours, the building of bridges, and the surveying and laying out of a large canal system. The last involved tunnels and aqueducts on a hitherto undreamt of scale. As the Canal Age gave way to the development of the railway system during the nineteenth century, the challenges which engineers had to meet became even greater. The building of the railway track and bridges called for rapid advances in iron technology and an understanding of behaviour of both wrought and cast iron.

  • Draft 1 the Evolution of Specialty Geotechnical
    draft THE EVOLUTION OF SPECIALTY GEOTECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES: THE “GREAT LEAP” THEORY “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited.” (Plutarch c 120 AD) 1. DEVELOPMENT OF THE BASIC THESIS Between 1858 and 1865, the great Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle wrote a 6-volume opus on the life and times of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. This work had followed his 1841 masterpiece “On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History.” In these publications, Carlyle developed what we now call the “Great Man” theory of history. This states that “the history of the world is but a biography of great men.” He evaluated the hero as divinity (in the form of pagan myths), as prophet (Mohammed), as poet (Dante, Shakespeare), as pastor (Martin Luther, John Knox), as man of letters (Samuel Johnson, Robbie Burns), and as king (Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonaparte, paradoxically, kings in all but name). With time, at a different time, Carlyle could have doubtless explored the hero as a warrior (Admiral Lord Nelson, General Stonewall Jackson, General George Patton) or the hero as a musician (as David Bowie wanted to be in his 1977 masterpiece) or as patriot, like that other Bowie of Scottish origins, Jim, who died fighting for the freedom of Texas at the Alamo in 1836. All of us here today are engaged in some aspect of the broad field of geotechnical engineering – a discipline barely embryonic in Carlyle’s day, and bound primarily to the demands of military engineering. We can be convinced that the “Great Man” theory is equally valid when considering the more fundamental and theoretical branches of our discipline, such as rock and soil mechanics.

  • The Terzaghi, Peck and Casagrande Historical Libraries – a Resource for the Geotechnical Profession
    The Terzaghi, Peck and Casagrande Historical Libraries: a resource for the geotechnical profession S. Lacasse, K. Höeg, M. Grahn, E. Raddum Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, Oslo, Norway ABSTRACT NGI is the custodian of three historical libraries, the Terzaghi Library, the Peck Library and the Casagrande library. The collection of manuscripts, photographs, original technical drawings, artistic drawings, anecdotes, university courses, correspondence and project reports by four pioneers of our profession is unique, from a geotechnical and a bibliographical point of view. The geo-libraries are today the largest collection of original manuscripts that documents the birth of a science. This paper takes the reader on a tour of the libraries. In 1957, Terzaghi's early material in a dusty pile in Vienna was shown accidentally to Laurits Bjerrum. Through the years, the historical libraries have become a large physical and digital repository forever available to our profession. In addition to the invaluable technical content, the collections give insight into Terzaghi, Peck and the Casagrande brothers' personality and creativity, work methods, developments and accomplishments, relations with people and sense of organisation. One can find, for example Terzaghi's "Notes on Construction (1912-13)" which cover almost the entire field of civil engineering and led to the invention of soil mechanics. The libraries contain also treasures of inspiring quotes that many of us have not heard before or forgotten. A short perusing in the documents reveals that Karl Terzaghi was a brilliant, fearless and enthusiastic man, an independent thinker; Ralph Peck was a conscientious, diplomatic, down-to-earth and caring gentleman, and first of all a man of judgment; Arthur Casagrande a gifted teacher and consultant with bold, “no-nonsense” ideas and Leo Casagrande a pioneering educator and consultant, a man of substance with amiable personality.

About Dr. Fernando Lizzi Fernando Lizzi was born in 1914 in Castelnuovo di Porto, Italy near Rome. At age 18, he entered the artillery military academy in Torino and became an officer in the Italian Army. At the end of his academy training in 1936, he was posted to Tripoli, Libya, where he fought and was injured in 1942 in the battle of Djrababub. He was then captured by the British army and eventually sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in an area now near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
