Biography
Leonid Konstantinovich Luksha was born on January 17, 1930 in the village of Khvalovo in the Sukhopol village council of the Pruzhany district of the Brest region. He studied at the Khvalov elementary school. He received an incomplete secondary education at the Sukhopol school, secondary - at the Shereshevskaya high school in 1950. Higher education - at the Belarusian Polytechnic Institute at the Hydrotechnical Faculty in 1955) By distribution, he was left in the BPI as a senior laboratory assistant. Then he worked as a teacher of building structures of the Belarusian Industrial and Pedagogical College of Labor Reserves. In 1958 he entered the graduate school of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR (Institute of Construction and Architecture). In January 1963 he defended his thesis, worked as a senior research fellow at IS&A, and since 1965 - associate professor at the Belarusian Technological Institute, where he prepared a doctoral dissertation and defended it in 1980 in Moscow.
From 1981 to 1990, he was a member of the Council for the Defense of Ph.D. dissertations at the Vilnius Civil Engineering Institute.
In 1983 he headed (by competition) the only department in the Republic of Bridges and Tunnels (M&T) of the Belarusian National Technical University, which he directed for 13 years. He received the academic title of Professor in 1985, the title of Honored Worker of Science of the BSSR - in 1990. During this period, the possibilities of Professor L. K. Luksha as a scientist and leader of the scientific team were most fully revealed. A previously created scientific field was developed - the theory of resistance of layered steel-concrete structures, including the theory of the complex stress state of structural building materials. Laminated steel-concrete structures (formerly called pipe-concrete structures, since they consist of steel pipes filled with concrete) are used in bridges, high-rise buildings, in underground structures, everywhere, where there are large external loads.
Both mentioned developed theories served as the scientific basis for the organization of postgraduate studies at the Department of M&T. In graduate school, Professor L.K., Luksha trained 17 candidates of technical sciences, including nine doctors of philosophy for foreign countries (Syria, Iraq, Cambodia and Chad). Foreign scientific relations of the Department of M&T were significantly expanded and strengthened: Professor L. K. Luksha gave lectures at universities in Japan (1991), Syria (1990), made presentations at scientific conferences in Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Baltic republics.
Since there was no maintenance of city bridges in the Republic, Professor L.K. Luksha created the City Transport Facilities Research Laboratory (NRL) at the Department of Engineering and Technology, funded by the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services of Belarus. As a result, several major bridge accidents in the cities of Minsk and Grodno were prevented. The forces of the R&D GTS developed a regulation on the maintenance of city bridges, approved by the Ministry of Housing and Utilities and is still in force. A monograph on the operation of city bridges has been published.
Maintenance of bridges on public roads was carried out by the department branch research laboratory “Bridges”, funded by the Ministry of Construction and Operation of Highways of Belarus. R&D Bridges was the most effective unit in the Republic for maintaining bridges on public roads during perestroika.
One of the unresolved problems in bridge construction is the waterproofing of bridges. To develop the issues of waterproofing bridges, an industry research laboratory “Vtorrezina” was created at the Department of Engineering and Technology, in which waterproofing materials were developed based on the processing of used automobile tires. Funding was provided by the State Planning Commission of the BSSR.
Professor L.K. Luksha published 2 monographs, over 200 scientific works, of which 25 articles in foreign journals in English, Polish and Czech (in Japan, China, Poland and Czechoslovakia), received 27 copyright certificates for the invention of bridge structures and scientific instruments for studying the strength and deformation of building materials and structures.
Strength theory of steel-concrete layered structures developed by prof. L.K. Luksha, gained recognition in world literature.
The close relationship of the Department of M&T with production and a high level of scientific research have allowed the Department of M&T to significantly increase the level of teaching bridges and metro construction.
Professor L.K. Luksha prepared highly skilled bridges: Ph.D. n D.V. Cherkasov, Ph.D. n A.S. Matskevich, Ph.D. n S. N. Sviridovich, Associate Professor L. G. Rasinskaya, Ph.D. n L.V. Gulitskaya, Ph.D. n D. E. Gusev (together with prof. N. N. Shaposhnikov).
The department of M&T during the work of L.K. Luksha was visited by many prominent scientists of the Soviet Union, China, Poland, who made scientific reports to the staff of the department and laboratories.
After completing work at the department. prof. L.K. Luksha, at the invitation of Polish scientists, worked as a professor at the Czestochowa Polytechnic. He gave lectures and conducted practical and laboratory classes on the resistance of materials and structural mechanics, introduced his scientific direction in Polish construction science, published a number of scientific papers published in the Polish technical press. Scientific biography prof. L. K. Lukszy is published in Poland in the following editions: The Golden Book of Technical Sciences ( Złota Księga Nauk Technicznych ), 2003 and The Golden Book of Polish Science ( Złota Księga Nauki Polskiej ), 2006.
He was awarded the honorary titles by the American Biographical Institute (USA): “Person of the Year 1995”, “Person of the Year 2009 from Belarus”, “Member of the American Biographical Institute in Steel Concrete Structures” 2009.
In addition to purely professional scientific activity, prof. L.K. Luksha worked a lot in the field of literature, music, history, sports, and fine art. He published two collections of lyric poetry, published an article on the history of Belarus, and wrote a review of the art of the world-famous artist E. I. Zhdan.
