- Alfred John Sutton Pippard MBE FRS (6 April 1891 – 2 November 1969) was a British civil engineer and academic. Pippard was the son of a carpenter and joiner and spent much of his early life helping his father on construction sites. Initially supposed to follow his father into the family business, Pippard instead decided to study for a bachelor's degree in civil engineering at the University of Bristol, supporting himself with an Exhibition award. Pippard worked for a Bristol based consulting engineer and for the Pontypridd and Rhondda Valley Joint Water Board in his early career. He also completed his master's degree during this period. At the start of the First World War Pippard joined the Admiralty Air Department where he studied aircraft stresses. After the war he joined an aeronautical engineering consultancy with many of his colleagues and was involved in accident investigation cases. He gained his Doctorate of Science from Bristol in 1920 and took up the chair in Civil Engineering at University College, Cardiff in 1922. This began a long career in academia at Cardiff, Bristol and Imperial College during which he was responsible for the analysis of the methods used in the design of the R100 and R101 airships. The public enquiry into the latter's crash, which ended British participation in airship development, found no faults with Pippard's work but he withdrew from the field of aeronautical engineering – feeling keenly the loss of several of his friends amongst the 48 dead. During the Second World War Pippard was a member of the Civil Defence Research Committee which met at Princes Risborough and continued his teaching at Imperial College. Pippard was a member of the council of the Institution of Civil Engineers for fifteen years and was their president for the 1958-9 session. During his later career he chaired the fifteen-year investigation into pollution in the Thames tideway the length of which he was criticised for by the press. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1954 and was pro-rector of Imperial college for the next year. He retired in 1956 and began a lecture tour of the United States and received honorary degrees from Bristol, Birmingham and Brunel Universities. (en)

- Alfred John Sutton Pippard MBE FRS (Yeovil, Somerset, 6 de abril de 1891 – Putney, Londres, 2 de novembro de 1969) foi um engenheiro civil e professor britânico. Filho de um carpinteiro e marceneiro, passou a maior parte de sua juventude auxiliando seu pai em obras. Inicialmente foi suposto que iria seguir a profissão de seu pai, porém decidiu estudar engenharia civil na Universidade de Bristol, tornando-se auto-suficiente obtendo uma bolsa de estudos por mérito acadêmico (exhibition. Pippard trabalhou para um escritório de consultoria em engenharia em Bristol e para a Welsh Water no início de carreira. Obteve neste período um mestrado. No início da Primeira Guerra Mundial Pippard entrou para o Departamento Aéreo do Almirantado Britânico, onde estudou tensão em aeronaves. Depois da guerra juntou-se a uma empresa de consultoria de engenharia aeronáutica com muitos de seus colegas e se envolvido em casos de investigação de acidentes. Obteve um doutorado na Universidade de Bristol em 1920 e assumiu a cátedra de engenharia civil da em 1922. Iniciou assim uma longa carreira acadêmica em Cardiff, Bristol e no Imperial College London, durante a qual foi responsável pela análise dos métodos usados no projeto dos dirigíveis R100 e R101. O inquérito público sobre o acidente deste último, que terminou com a participação britânica no desenvolvimento de dirigíveis, não encontrou falhas no trabalho de Pippard, mas ele retirou-se do campo da engenharia aeronáutica - sentindo profundamente a perda de vários de seus amigos entre os 48 mortos no desastre. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial Pippard foi membro do Comitê de Pesquisa de Defesa Civil (Civil Defence Research Committee) que se reuniu em Princes Risborough, e continuou lecionando no Imperial College London. Pippard foi membro do conselho da durante quinze anos e seu presidente no período 1958-1959. Durante sua carreira tardia presidiu a investigação de quinze anos sobre a poluição na região afetada pelas marés no rio Tâmisa (área referenciada como tideway), período em que foi criticado pela imprensa. Foi eleito membro da Royal Society em 1954 e foi pro-reitor do Imperial College London no ano seguinte. Aposentou-se em 1956 e começou uma turnê de palestras dos Estados Unidos, recebeu graus honorários da Universidade de Bristol, Universidade de Birmingham e Universidade de Brunel. (pt)
