Joseph Monier (1823–1906) was a French gardener and inventor who is best known for his development of reinforced concrete. He originally experimented with combining concrete with metal reinforcements to create stronger and more durable structures, allowing for new architectural designs and applications. His work laid the foundation for the widespread use of reinforced concrete in construction, which has become a fundamental material in modern civil engineering and architecture.
