This is an interesting biography of Sir Alec Westley Skempton F.R.S.
A very interesting person. An engineer, who got into research from year one of studies. After studying the collapse of a dam, he got into soil mechanics, which is now an important subject in civil engineering.

He was knighted and also made a Fellow of the Royal Society.
