Zhuravskii attended the [[Nezhin]] [[lycée]]<ref name="Kurrer2012" /> and entered the [[Petersburg State Transport University|St. Petersburg Institute of the Corps of Railroad Engineers]] where he was influenced by the academician [[Mikhail Ostrogradsky]]. He graduated from the institute being first in his class in 1842.<ref name="Springer">{{cite journal|last=Rakcheev|first=E.

In the beginning of his career he took part in the surveying and planning of the [[Moscow – Saint Petersburg Railway]].<ref name="encyclopedia2">{{cite web|title=Zhuravskii, Dmitrii Ivanovich|url=http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Dmitrii+Zhuravskii|publisher=[[The Great Soviet Encyclopedia]]}}</ref> In 1857-58 he led the reconstruction of the [[Peter and Paul Cathedral]] in [[Saint Petersburg]].<ref name="Springer" /> In 1871–76 he took part in the reconstruction of the [[Mariinsky Canal System]]<ref name="encyclopedia2" />

He was awarded the prestigious [[Demidov Prize]] in 1855 by the [[Russian Academy of Sciences]].

The [[Shear_stress#Beam_shear|Zhuravskii Shear Stress formula]] is named after him (derived it in 1855):<ref>{{cite web|title=ЛЕКЦИЯ ФОРМУЛА ЖУРАВСКОГО|url=http://sopromato.ru/pryamoy-izgib/formula-zhuravskogo.html|work=СОПРОМАТ ЛЕКЦИИ}}</ref>

where
:''V'' = total shear force at the location in question;
:''Q'' = [[first moment of area#Statical moment of area|statical moment of area]];
:''t'' = thickness in the material perpendicular to the shear;
:''I'' = [[Second moment of area|Moment of Inertia]] of the entire cross sectional area.
