An Outstanding Engineer, Scientist, Teacher — Alexander Matveevich Ivanov. To the 110th Anniversary of His Birth

The scientific works of an outstanding scientist, A.M. Ivanov, devoted to the development of new methods for calculating wooden elements taking into account the time – creep factor have so far aroused great interest among modern researchers. The Voronezh Scientific School of Polymer Concrete A.M. Ivanov has substantiated and created universal models called “structural diagrams”, which lay the probabilistic foundations for evaluating the properties of materials, as well as polymer concrete and other composites. The article describes the life path, the formation of scientific activity and teaching of an outstanding scientist, Dr. of Technical Sciences, Professor A.M. Ivanov, a participant in the Great Patriotic War. Grateful students and followers showed that the issues of reinforcement of steel-polymer concrete structures, anchoring of reinforcement in polymer concrete and calculation of joints of prefabricated steel-polymer concrete structures of solid and annular cross-section with various types of reinforcement; the development of a whole range of polymer materials reinforced with fiberglass reinforcement and wood chips is the result of mentoring activities of an outstanding teacher and scientist.
