Franz Dischinger
Franz Dischinger ( born October 8, 1887 in Heidelberg, † January 9, 1953 in Berlin; Complete name: Franz Anton Dischinger ) was a German civil engineer.
Work
Franz Dischinger worked and researched early and mid- 20th century in Germany in the field of concrete construction. He did standout in reinforced concrete shell construction, in the prestressed concrete way for the development of modern cable-stayed bridges and the theory of the plastic behavior of the concrete. He designed new pre-stressed concrete bridges and constructed together with Ulrich Finsterwalder thin dome shells and barrel roofs. An example of a major co-developed by him reinforced concrete shell construction are the domes of the wholesale market hall in Leipzig. In 1934 he had patented his new design method of prestressed concrete bridges. 1936/37, he planned the railway bridge in Aue ( Sachsen) according to this patent, the world's first concrete bridge without bond.
There is a " differential equation by Dischinger " or " Disch Inger equation " in which it comes to the creep of concrete.
Life
Franz Dischinger was the son of a Baden superstructure Controller. He spent his childhood in Karlsruhe, where he also went to high school. From 1907 he studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, among others, Friedrich Engesser and Karl Heun. During his studies he gave private tuition and revision courses for its students. In 1911 he passed the Diploma Examination " with distinction".
After a short stint at the construction firm Vollrath in Wesel Dischinger made in Munich his military service as a one-year volunteer. He then joined in 1913 the services of the construction company Dyckerhoff & Widmann in Wiesbaden- Biebrich, where he worked until 1933 as a structural engineer and designer. In this capacity, Dischinger, developed together with Walther Bauersfeld in 1922 the so-called Zeiss Dywidag shell construction. In 1929 he received his doctorate from the Technical University of Dresden with Kurt Beyer with a dissertation on Vieleckschalen, and the following year he won with a treatise on " reinforced concrete shells as a space vehicle " the first prize in a competition of the Prussian Academy of Civil Engineering.
On August 1, 1933, Dischinger, succeeding Hermann boost the Chair of Concrete Structures at the Technical University Berlin and devoted himself primarily theoretical questions of construction. So he released 1937/1939 groundbreaking essays on the theory of creep and shrinkage of concrete. Due to a chronic disease Dischinger received emeritus status prematurely on April 1, 1951.
His grave is located at the Municipal Forest Cemetery Dahlem in Steglitz -Zehlendorf.
