“Eugene Figg”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Life

Figg was born August 4, 1936 in Charleston, South Carolina. He received a civil engineering degree as a structural engineer from The Citadel in Charleston in 1958.^[3]^[4]

During his career, he brought the use of the segmental method for spanning large gaps to the United States with the assistance of his Paris-based partner, Jean M. Muller.^[5] His affiliation with Muller, begun at Figg and Muller Engineers (founded in 1978),^[6]^[7] allowed him to gain valuable insight into the application of pre-cast segmental bridge construction methods to the domestic market. When they coupled this construction method with cable-stayed supports, Mueller and Figg effectively increased the use of concrete in longer span bridge proposals.^[8]

He formed his own engineering firm, the Figg Engineering Group, still operating and based in Tallahassee.^[4] Figg also founded the American Segmental Bridge Institute in 1989, and served four years as a trustee at the National Building Museum.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}

Awards

In 2000, Figg was honored with the John A. Roebling Medal for his outstanding lifetime achievement in bridge engineering.^[9]
