Enzo Siviero born on 1945 in Padua, Italy. In 1969, he graduated in Civil Engineering. In 1972, he started his teaching activity at IUAV, the University of Venice, when in 1994 he become full professor of Theory and Design of Bridges. At present he is Rector of on line University eCampus Italy where he teaches Bridge Theory and Design. In China he is Consultant Professor at the College of Civil Engineering of Tongji University, Shanghai-China, Adjunct Professor at Fuzhou University and Chang’An University, Xi’An-China, former member of CUN, National University Council at the Ministry of Education in Rome (2007-2015) and deputy president (2007- 2013). Awarded the honorary degree in Architecture by Politecnico di Bari, 2009. After his Graduation, over the years he has carried out in-depth research into the theme of Bridges, devoting a large part of his academic activity to teaching structures to architects in order to reach the highest point of connection between structure and form, mechanical behavior and aesthetics features. This objective has been carried out giving huge importance the conceptual design of bridges, paying particular attention to their integration in the landscape, in order to obtain a more sustainable and less invasive development of infrastructures. As an expert on structural mechanics and concrete structures, he has performed important researches on both these topics at National and International level within the IUAV, mainly within CEB FIP (later FIB) as member of the editorial board of CEB FIP MODEL CODE '90. With reference to the professional field, Enzo Siviero has designed several outstanding structures alone or in team with some engineers and architects. His main fields of activity are those of conceptual and detailed design, durability of concrete structures, structural diagnosis and monitoring, refurbishment and strengthening of bridges, flyovers and footbridges. He is author and editor of numerous books and articles on reinforced and prestressed concrete, management of structural works, conservation, rebuilding and strengthening of roads, bridge design and large structures. He is also author or co-author of many technical-scientific papers. In 1999, he inaugurated the exhibition “Enzo Siviero: the theme of the bridge” which has been presented in many Italian and European Universities. In 2009, he inaugurated his important exhibition “Ponteggiando – Bridging” which is currently touring various Universities all around the world, from Europe to China India Africa and America. Professionally, he is active both in Italy and abroad in the field of building industry, structures and infrastructures especially bridges, viaducts and roads. In 2019 he inaugurated the third exhibition Enzo Siviero The Bridge Men (Reggio Calabria Italy).
