Camillo Guidi
Camillo Guidi (born July 24, 1853 in Rome ; † October 30, 1941 ibid) was an Italian civil engineer and engineering scientist.
Guidi attended the engineering school (Scuola di applicazione per ingegneri) in Rome with the Laurea degree in 1873. In 1882 he became an associate professor for graphic statics at the Polytechnic in Turin and from 1887 he held the chair for civil engineering. In addition, from 1893 he taught bridge construction and had the materials research laboratory under himself. In 1928 he retired.
Since 1895 he was a member of the Accademia delle Scienze di Torino , in 1927 he was admitted to the Accademia dei XL , in 1936 to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and in 1938 to the Accademia dei Lincei .
He developed the theory of the elastic massive arch and was a pioneer of the theory of reinforced concrete in Italy, similar to Emil Mörsch ( Karl-Eugen Kurrer ) in Germany, and worked through his textbook on structural engineering.
One of his students is Gustavo Colonetti , who was also the successor to his chair in Turin.
His son Guido Guidi (1891–1983) was an engineer and aviation pioneer in Italy.
