Arthur Casagrande, born August 28, 1902 in Haidnshaft, Austria. After graduating in 1919 at the Vienna Polytechnic University, he worked as an aide to Professor Schaffermack in the Hydraulics Laboratory. In 1926 moved to the United States. When he met Professor K.Terzaghi at a MIT visit, he immediately appreciated his ability and overcame his difficulties, trying to find ways for Casa Grande In the Public Roads Bureau to seek a position, and let him as his own assistant at MIT. In the summer of 1926, the two of them worked together for a few weeks before they were officially appointed in December of that year. From then on until he was forced to retire for health reasons, Casa Grande, for more than fifty years, has been wholeheartedly working for the science of soil mechanics.
