from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wieland Ramm (born July 24, 1937 in Halle an der Saale ) is a German civil engineer (solid construction, structural engineering) and university lecturer at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern .

biography

Ramm is the son of a civil engineer and the older brother of Ekkehard Ramm . He went to school in Wiesbaden (Abitur in 1957 with honors at the Gutenberg School). From 1957 he studied civil engineering at the TH Darmstadt and after graduating in 1964 he worked as a research assistant with Kurt Klöppel at the chair for statics and steel construction, where he received his doctorate with distinction in 1969. The dissertation was about the load-bearing capacity of multi-part lattice bars and was also associated with tests ( load-bearing calculation of bars that are simply symmetrical in terms of cross-section and load with any material law ). His teachers in Darmstadt also included Herbert Breth in foundation engineering and Alfred Mehmel and Hubert Beck in solid construction . At Klöppel he was also commissioned to inspect buildings, for example the Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke in Bonn . From 1971 he was in the engineering office G. Dröge in Salzgitter -Thiede and from 1975 to 1980 at Hochtief in Frankfurt am Main in the nuclear engineering department (first as deputy head, then as head). In 1980 he became professor for solid construction and building construction at the University of Kaiserslautern. In 1985/86 he was Dean of the Department of Architecture, Spatial and Environmental Planning and Civil Engineering. In 2002 he retired.

1981 to 1984 and 1993 to 1997 he was a member of the German Reactor Safety Commission. From 1985 he was on the advisory board and from 1992 to 1996 board member of the VDI-Gesellschaft Bautechnik. In 1999/2000 he was chairman of the Faculty Conference for Civil Engineering and Surveying.

In 1987 he founded the engineering office Bode, Ramm und Partner (Borapa) with his professor colleague Helmut Bode, which was continued by others after he and von Bode left (Professors Rolf Wörner , Jürgen Schnell , Wolfgang Kurz and the graduate engineer Franz J. Donauer ).

In 2003 he received the Emil Mörsch Medal . He received the award primarily for the development of the solid construction department at the University of Kaiserslautern, for his scientific work and for his work as chairman of the Faculty Conference for Civil Engineering.

Wieland Ramm published on the history of construction technology and also published a book on the old Dirschau bridge over the Vistula .
