From 1932 he was professor of structural engineering at the Engineering Academy of the Soviet Army and from 1933 to 1955 he held the chair of structural engineering at the Moscow University of Civil Engineering. In 1943 he became major general of engineers. When he retired from the military in 1966, he became a hero of socialist labor .
He developed a kinematic method in structural engineering and efficient methods for the calculation of complex statically indeterminate systems, developed a theory of suspension cables for suspension bridges and the dynamics of the loading of bridges and other supporting structures. He was also known from textbooks on structural engineering.
In 1946 he became a corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences . In 1944 he became an Honored Scientist of Russia and received the Order of Lenin .
