Reuss (Lorenzo Reuss)

Lorenzo Reuss was an Italian engineer and scientist known for his work in civil engineering, particularly in the field of rock mechanics and underground constructions. His contributions helped improve understanding of how rock behaves under stress, which is crucial when designing tunnels, mines, and other subterranean structures. Reuss emphasized the importance of accounting for the mechanical properties of rocks and using scientific principles to ensure safety and stability. His work has influenced methods in geotechnical engineering, enabling more reliable and efficient subterranean projects.
