The Hennebique system makes reinforced concrete a frame

node

Francois Hennebique patents and then licenses internationally a complete reinforced concrete framing system - columns, beams and slabs cast monolithically, with bars bent up to follow the tension line through a beam. Concrete stops being a material for tanks and foundations and becomes a way of building whole buildings, and licensing rather than authorship is how it spreads.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  22. History of reinforced concrete as material and as architectural idea, covering Monier's patents from 1867 and the Hennebique framing system licensed from the 1890s. V55 verification basis: real and standard, not consulted in this session; the specific patent dates should be checked against a patent record before publication.
