“…A series of short papers about eminent structural engineers have been published since 2004 by Structural Engineering International, a journal of the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), which aims to increase awareness of our engineering heritage as well as promote suitable design works that have the capability to inspire all engineers. Some of the eminent structural engineers included Fazlur Khan [104], Fritz Leonhardt [105], Eugene Freyssinet [106], and David B. Steinman [107]. Eminent structural engineers archived in literature are shown in Fig.…”

“…Even some authors credited with the invention of prestressing due to Tempul aqueduct, built before the first prestressed concrete structures of Eugène Freyssinet [10]. Tensioning structures allows him to achieve the desired structural behavior while avoiding concrete cracking, ensuring tightness and improving durability.…”

The paper first presents the strategy of the South African government for development of infrastructure which, on a macro level, will assist to alleviate poverty in the country and the region. The role of the structural engineer in these projects is undeniable.On a micro level it is shown how individual projects can create employment opportunities, skills training programs and can provide access to amenities and employment opportunities. This is described by using four example projects.Although the contribution of the above initiatives cannot be discounted, the real sustainable impact on poverty alleviation is described here as the transfer of hope and vision to poor communities. This component requires a mind shift from the average structural engineer, where it requires careful planning and personal dedication to create opportunities for interaction with communities.
