1 Monier, Joseph
[br]b. 1823 Franced. 1906 Paris, France[br]French gardener and one of the principal inventors of reinforced concrete.[br]Monier was a commercial gardener who in the course of his work was struck with the idea of inserting iron reinforcement in concrete tubs such as were used for growing orange trees. He patented this idea in 1867 and exhibited his invention the same year at the Paris Exposition. It soon occurred to him to apply the same principles to other engineering structures such as railway sleepers, pipes, floors, arches and bridges. In 1878 he took out a French patent for reinforced concrete beams and held numerous other patents for the material. Although he was not the only one to realize the benefits of combining a concrete girder or slab to resist compressive forces with iron or steel wires or rods to resist tensile stresses, "Das System Monier" was known as such by 1887 throughout Europe.[br]Further ReadingJ.W.De Courcy, 1987, "The emergence of reinforced concrete", Structural Engineer 65A: 316.IMcN -
