On December 15, 1832, French civil engineer Eiffel was born
193 years ago today, on December 15, 1832 (October 24, 1832 in the lunar calendar), Eiffel, the builder of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, was born. Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923), a famous French architect, structural engineer, and metal structure expert, is famous all over the world for designing the Eiffel Tower, a landmark building in Paris. Eiffel was born on December 15, 1832 in the city of Dijon in eastern France. His father was a civilian in the army. His mother was an imaginative woman. In the mid-19th century, after the fall of Napoleon's First Empire, the French economy was in depression. To get rid of the poverty of his family, Eiffel's mother resolutely picked up the burden of life and decided to run a coal stack alone. So he left Eiffel to his grandmother to raise. Eiffel's grandmother was kind-hearted and kind-hearted. It was because of the long-term influence and education of his mother and grandmother that Eiffel developed a good character of independent thinking, bold imagination, and hard-working and inquisitive from an early age. This laid the foundation for him to become an outstanding engineer in the future. Eiffel entered a local royal high school at the age of 12 to study. At the beginning of his studies were not good, and he failed to be admitted to the famous Paris Polytechnic University after graduating from high school. He was not discouraged and studied hard. At the age of 20, he finally admitted to the technical school for training engineers with excellent grades. There he rented a single dormitory and often squeezed into tables and stoves to study all night long. Soon, he received a diploma as an engineer with good grades. After graduating from the technical school, Eiffel was introduced by a friend to the research office of the Western Railway Bureau as an engineer. From then on, Eiffel embarked on the work path of a structural engineer, contributing his talents to the progress and civilization of mankind. In 1860, Eiffel completed the famous Bordeaux Bridge project in France at that time, which erected 500 meters of steel components on six piers across the Geelong River. The completion of this huge project made Eiffel famous in the entire engineering community. Eiffel was willing to study hard, dared to innovate, and boldly used steel and concrete to free civil construction from "earth" and "wood". He dedicated himself to the design of the Eiffel Tower, and there are more than 5,000 design drawings alone. These precious materials, as the crystallization of Eiffel's labor, are still well preserved in Paris.
