Giuseppe Albenga (9 June 1882, Incisa Scapaccino – 19 January 1957, Turin) was an Italian civil engineer, professor of bridge construction, and historian of civil engineering. [1] [2] [3]
A student of Camillo Guidi, Giuseppe Albenga received his laurea in civil engineering at the Politecnico di Torino in 1904.
Albenga was a professor extraordinarius of road and railway construction from 1914 to 1915 at the University of Bologna and from 1915 to 1918 at the University of Pisa. From 1919 to 1928 he taught construction science at the University of Bologna.

In 1928 he was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in Bologna. [4]
His main contributions were to the theory and practice of bridge construction and to the history of engineering — he was among the first to study the history of the development of reinforced concrete.
