Profesor Zdzisław T. Bieniawski Called a "Man of All Trades" (Człowiek wszystkich zawodów) by scientific communities in South Africa, America and Europe, he was trained as a shipbuilding engineer in Poland, graduated in South Africa as mechanical engineer and obtained a doctorate in mining and tunnel engineering. In the process he invented a world-famous Rock Mass Rating (RMR) system used extensively today in tunnel design and construction in mining and civil engineering. (Twórca klasyfikacji skał powszechnie używanej w budownictwie tunelowym oraz budownictwie lądowym). CV Dorobek 9
