François Hennebique, Monolithic [Steel] Reinforced Concrete Joint, 1892 This system used the continuity of concrete structures very successfully.  The steel reinforcement follows the maximum bending moments from the bottom of the beam mid-span to the top of the beam over the supports.The column is rigidly connected to the beams and slab, so no bracing is necessary.
