Abstract
The article is dedicated to Evgeny Oskarovich Paton, an outstanding Soviet scientist with brilliant engineering talent. It was he who created a unique school of bridge building. The most famous creation of Evgeny Oskarovich bears his name – the famous Paton Bridge in Kiev.
E. O. Paton is the author of more than 300 scienti fic papers and several theoretical courses on bridge building and welding: «Calculation of end-to-end trusses with rigid joints», «Iron bridges» in 4 volumes, «Wooden railway bridges», «Automatic bare electrode welding under a layer of flux», fundamental textbook «Course of bridges» in 5 volumes and others. Organizer and editor-in-chief of the journal «Automatic welding» (1949–1953). Many of his textbooks are still being used in the study process.
The beginning of Evgeny Paton’s professional, research and teaching career was directly related to transport and railways, teaching at the then MIIT, where the future great scientist headed the department «Bridges and Tunnels» (founded in 1896). It was there that Evgeny Oskarovich worked until 1904. Paton’s laboratory has survived to this day and even continues to be used in teaching, and documents and photographs related to the scientist are carefully kept in the university museum.
