Abstract

447Studia Ligustica 16 Joaquín Francisco Antuña Las estructuras de edificación de Eduardo Torroja Miret The text presents the results of various initiatives carried out since the presentation of the thesis “The building structures of Eduardo Torroja Mi- ret” that arose as a result of the investigation initiated for the writing of the thesis. They are presented in chronological order, so that it can be seen that the research results have influenced both my professional ded- ication and the teaching initiatives in which I have participated. The ac- tivities have been grouped into six themes of different breadth. The first refers to the knowledge and dissemination of the content of the Eduardo Torroja Archive that the work carried out in the thesis helped to dissem- inate, also including some research that this information made possible. The second theme is related to collaboration with architects and focuses on Torroja’s work with Manuel Sánchez Arcas, author of the project for the dome of the Algeciras market. The third focuses on a work, the roofs of the grandstands of the Zarzuela racetrack. The fourth in the investigation carried out by Torroja to solve the construction of deposits with differ- ent techniques and his contribution with his own prestressing system. The fifth refers to the edition of the construction lexicon that Torroja promoted from the Technical Institute of Construction and Cement and, finally, the work carried out by Torroja in the field of experimentation with models
