Eiffel's grandmother cautious kind. It is precisely because the mother and grandmother have long been seen and heard enough influence and education, the Eiffel cultivated good at an early age to think independently,
A bold vision, Diligence and ask questions of good character. This is the future for him to become an engineer out of the elite class basis. Eiffel 12-year-old into the local one royal secondary education. The beginning of his studies is not good, had not graduated from high school can be admitted to the famous University of Paris.
He is not discouraged, work hard to remedial homework, to 20 years old, finally admitted to the outstanding achievements of the art school to train engineers. Where he rented a single hostel, often crowded in the middle of the table and the stove all night hard at school. Soon, he received a good performance of the engineer's diploma.
After graduating from art school, the Eiffel a friend's research into the Western Railway Bureau as an engineer. From the Eiffel embarked on a structural engineer working path of human progress and civilization and to contribute their talent.
In 1860, the Eiffel completed at that time famous French Bordeaux Bridge project will be up to 500 meters of steel structures, erected across the river Geelong 6 piers. The completion of this enormous project, so that the Eiffel became famous throughout the engineering field.
Effie Milken study, the courage to innovation, bold use of steel and concrete, so that civil engineering from the "soil" and "Wood" freed. He paid a huge tower for the design work, only there are more than 5,000 design drawings Zhang. This valuable information, as the crystallization of the Eiffel sandals labor, which is still there and properly preserved in Paris.
Eiffel The miracles in the history of human construction engineers, will always be remembered. 艾菲尔出生于1832年法国东部的第戎城。他的父亲是军队的文职人员。母亲是一位富有想象力的妇女。19世纪中叶，拿破仑第一帝国灭亡后，法国经济一片萧条。为摆脱家境的贫困，艾菲尔的母亲毅然挑起了生活的重担，决定单独经营一家煤栈。于是就将艾菲尔交给外婆抚养。
艾菲尔的外婆心细善良。正是由于长期受到母亲和外婆耳濡目染的影响和教育，艾菲尔从小养成了善于独立思考、
大胆设想、勤学好问的好品格。这就为他日后成为一个出类拨萃的工程师奠定了基础。艾菲尔12岁进入本地的一所皇家中学学习。开始时他的学业不算好，中学毕业也没能考上著名的巴黎理工大学。
他并不灰心，刻苦地补习功课，到了20岁那年，终于以优异的成绩考上了培养工程师的技艺学校。在那里他租用了单身宿舍，经常挤在桌子和火炉中间通宵达旦埋头读书。不久，他以良好的成绩领到了工程师的毕业文凭。
技艺学校毕业后，艾菲尔经朋友介绍进入西部铁路局研究室任工程师。从此艾菲尔踏上了一个建筑结构工程师的工作道路，为人类的进步与文明贡献自己的才华。
1860年，艾菲尔完成了当时法国著名的波尔多大桥工程，将长达500米的钢铁构件，架设在跨越吉隆河中的6个桥墩上。这项巨大工程的完成，使艾菲尔在整个工程界的名声大振。
艾菲尔肯钻研，敢革新，大胆使用钢材和混凝土，使土木建筑从“土”和“木”中解脱出来。他为设计铁塔付出了巨大的劳动，仅设计图纸就有5000多张。这些宝贵的资料，作为艾菲尔凉鞋劳动的结晶，至今仍被人们妥善地保存在巴黎。
艾菲尔这个在人类建筑史上创造奇迹的工程师，将永远被人们怀念。本回答被网友采纳

Alexandre G. Eiffel From RitchieWiki Jump to: navigation , search Related Categories: People Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was the architect behind one of the greatest structures to be built during the Industrial Revolution—the Eiffel Tower. The 1000-foot (305-m) tower is Eiffel’s best known project, prompting millions to visit it every year. Eiffel’s 1889 creation was very much a personal as well as a public symbol. Having funded the majority of the tower's construction, Eiffel fought for its survival throughout his life. The symbol of liberty and ambition was Eiffel’s greatest and final gift to the city of romance. Contents[hide] 1 History 1.1 Birth and Early Life1.2 Eiffel Tower1.3 Life After the Tower1.4 Death2 References[edit] History [edit] Birth and Early Life Eiffel was born on December 15, 1832 in Dijon, France. His ancestors owned a successful tapestry-making business that was wealthy and had a good reputation. His father went against tradition and joined to fight for Napoleon’s army. When he returned, he married Eiffel’s mother, a member of a wealthy merchant family. Eiffel was close to his mother, who held a good education in high regards. She also used her smart business sense to help Eiffel start his own business later down the line.[1] Eiffel had plans to attend the prestigious French university Polytechnique but was not accepted. Instead, he studied chemistry at the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. He graduated at the age of 22 and was supposed to go work at his uncle’s vinegar firm before a falling out with the family squashed those plans. Eiffel took up work with the French Society of Civil Engineers, but it went bankrupt after several months. He went on to become chief of research for the General Railway Equipment Co. This move proved to be very profitable, as railways were at the height of their construction. At the age of 25, Eiffel acted as the commissioner of two lines: the Compagnie d’Orleans and the Compagnie du Midi. Eiffel married Marie Gaudelet, a childhood friend, in 1862, and they moved to Paris two years later. He opened his own business in the suburbs of Paris, a metal-working shop. One of Eiffel’s great accomplishments at this time was developing trusses and arches that were light in weight and resistant to wind. He was now becoming skilled at building bridges. One of his biggest projects was the bridge over the Sioule River. At 262 feet (80 m), it was the tallest bridge in the world at this time. His stellar reputation only improved with each passing project and the number gradually grew. To his name, he is credited for the Oporto Bridge, the Viana Bridge, the Pest Train Station in Hungary, the Tan An Bridge in China and the dome of the Nice Observatory. He also assisted with the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the internal of the Statue of Liberty. His wife died at the young age of 32, having born him five children. He never remarried after her passing.[2] [edit] Eiffel Tower Eiffel proposed the concept of a wrought-iron tower to the City of Paris as a symbol of France’s participation in the Industrial Revolution. The city accepted and offered to provide three installments of $300,000 towards the funding of the tower. Although a generous subsidy, it was not near enough to cover the project costs of $1.6 million. Insistent that it commence, Eiffel was prepared to pay the remainder of the costs to ensure the tower would stand. Despite having little experience with building towers, Eiffel was determined and confident. He decided to use a weaving design of wrought iron to build the structure. It was cheap and would hold its own against the forces of the wind. Two chief of researchers, Emile Nouguier and Maurice Koechlin, provided the design for the Eiffel Tower. During construction of the tower, Eiffel faced a myriad of criticism. Parisian artisans criticized the tower, saying it would hurt the skyline and deflect from the beauty of the city. Others insisted that the tower would collapse once it reached certain heights. Nevertheless, Eiffel was steadfast in his determination. Eiffel had many obstacles to overcome during the construction phase. When the foundations of the Eiffel Tower were being laid, the proximity of the tower to the Seine River posed the possibility of water leakage. Water-tight caissons were developed to combat this issue. Eiffel also arrived at solutions to bring the tower to its colossal height. He used special four-ton cranes that would lift the materials up the tower as it was being built. When the tower reach heights that would no longer permit use of these cranes, Eiffel employed cranes mounted on tracks to travel up the elevator beams. Eiffel completed the tower on March 28, 1889. The tower was supposed to be demolished after 20 years, but Eiffel insisted that the national symbol should remain. Upon learning of the tower’s ability to send radio signals as far as North America, the City decided to allow the tower to stand. [edit] Life After the Tower Although the tower made him famous, Eiffel's reputation suffered greatly when his company took on the Panama Canal project. The company that hired him went bankrupt, an event that affected hundreds of thousands of French investors. Eiffel was accused of profiteering and was ordered to jail. His name was eventually cleared but he had already given up on the architectural industry. He decided, instead, to devote his life to the study of aerodynamics. One of his notable inventions was the wind tunnel.[3] [edit] Death Eiffel died on December 27, 1923, at 91 years old.
