Reinforced concrete in Italy through the works of two generations of engineers: Mario and Giorgio Baroni

The study of Mario and Giorgio Baroni permits us, through their respective biographies, to read into important aspects of the passage from the early theory of reinforced concrete through to the most advanced experiences of the 1950s. On one side there is Mario Baroni, a great teacher and innovative designer who transferred a fine interpretation of the distribution of tension in reinforced concrete components to the development of patents.
