Abstract:
In taking up the various systems of concrete steel construction the name Francois Monier, a French gardener, stands pre-eminent as the pioneer in this field, while to Hennibique in France and Ransome in the United States due credit should be given as leaders among the early pioneers in this line of work. To Armand Considere belongs the credit of the invention of the safest and most conservative type of column design, that is the hooped and vertically reinforced column.

The design of concrete mixtures is a subject of vital interest to all engineers and constructors who have to do with concrete work. . .The term "Design" is used in the title of this article as distinguished from "proportioning" since it is the intention to imply that each element of the problem is approached with a delibrate purpose in view which is guided by a rational method of accomplishment.
