Eugene C. Figg (August 4, 1936 – March 20, 2002) was an American structural engineer who made numerous contributions to the field of structural engineering, especially in the design of the cable-stayed bridge and the use of the segmental concrete construction method.
[3][4] During his career, he brought the use of the segmental method for spanning large gaps to the United States with the assistance of his Paris-based partner, Jean M.
When they coupled this construction method with cable-stayed supports, Mueller and Figg effectively increased the use of concrete in longer span bridge proposals.
[4] Figg also founded the American Segmental Bridge Institute in 1989, and served four years as a trustee at the National Building Museum.
[9] In 2000, Figg was honored with the John A. Roebling Medal for his outstanding lifetime achievement in bridge engineering.
