Árpád Kézdi
Árpád Kézdi (born November 19, 1919 in Komárom , † October 20, 1983 in Budapest ) was a Hungarian civil engineer in the field of foundation engineering and soil mechanics .
Kezdi was the successor to his teacher József Jáky Professor of Geotechnics at the Technical University of Budapest . Among other things, he is known for several textbooks on foundation engineering and soil mechanics.
He won the Széchenyi Prize , was an honorary doctor of the TU Dresden (1971) and a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences . From 1957 until his death he was head of the Hungarian section of the ISSMFE ( International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering ) and its vice-president for Europe from 1973 to 1977. He was one of the main initiators of the Danube-European Conferences on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering - he has been organizing international conferences on soil mechanics and foundation engineering in Budapest since the early 1960s.
