From 1896 to 1912 he taught as a professor at the École des Ponts et Chaussées hydraulic engineering, from 1897 also the first courses on reinforced concrete at this engineering school. From 1921 he worked for the construction company Christiani & Nielsen.
He was known for developing methods and measuring instruments to examine and record the condition of iron bridges (cracks, signs of fatigue), and as a pioneer of reinforced concrete in France. From 1900 he was a member of a commission for reinforced concrete (Commission du ciment armé), which published calculation regulations in 1906.
