ArchitectureWeek Description Hardy Cross was a key figure in the history of structural engineering. During his tenure at the University of Illinois (1921-37), he developed the "moment distribution method," allowing mathematicians to calculate statistically indeterminate frames of reinforced concrete. This achievement made possible the calculations that allowed for safe and efficient designs from reinforced concrete — a new material at the time.
