György Iványi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

György Iványi (born January 16, 1939 in Szeged ) is a Hungarian-German civil engineer.

biography

His father was a civil servant with the Hungarian State Railways , and Ivanyi grew up in Szeged and from 1949 in Budapest. At first he wanted to become a biochemist, but then studied civil engineering at the Technical University in Budapest. In 1962 he completed his studies and received the first prize of the engineering association for his thesis on a hyperbolic paraboloid shell construction for a sports hall, combined with a trip to the Soviet Union. After graduation he was assigned to the state bridge construction company in Budapest and supervised the construction of a bridge over the Tisza and was then involved in the construction of the Elisabeth Bridge in Budapest. In addition, she worked in an engineering office (a planning office for industrial construction), just like during my studies. He wanted to do his doctorate with Lajos Kollar in 1964 on the stability of a special reinforced concrete arch, but then learned after completing his dissertation that Josef Eibl had already done his doctorate with Karl Kordina in Braunschweig. Kordina invited him to the Technical University of Braunschweig, where he received his doctorate in 1967 ( The load bearing capacity of open, circular reinforced concrete cross-sections - Brazier effect ) and began a close cooperation with Josef Eibl. In 1978 he became a full professor for solid construction at what was then the comprehensive university in Essen, later on at the University of Duisburg-Essen. There he built up the civil engineering department and equipped it with a test hall, among other things.

In addition to structural issues, he also dealt with the properties of concrete, especially its durability. He dealt with cold shock to concrete, bridge damage especially to coupling joints, repair of damage to solid structures, crack grouting, tightness of reinforced concrete containers, with prestressing technology and external prestressing.

Remarks

  1. He was allowed to leave the country with his wife because he had a share in a home in Hungary and this was seen as a guarantee of return.
