Percy Pennybacker
Percy V. Pennybacker (1895–1963) was a Texas civil engineer who pioneered the technology of welded structures, particularly for bridges.
==Professional success==
Pennybacker worked for the Texas Highway Department in the early 1900s designing bridges. He earned his civil engineering degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He served as a captain in the Army Air Service during World War I. After the war, he worked in Kansas and Texas. During World War II, he became interested in welded construction as an alternative to rivets. By promoting the use of welding for heavy stress bridge design, he is credited with saving the state of Texas millions of dollars.
When he retired from the Texas Highway Department, he worked another three years for the city of Austin as a civil engineer.
He was honored as "Outstanding Engineer" by the Texas Society of Professional Engineers, was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and brought the American Welding Society to Austin.
