Hormigoi armatuaren eboluzioa linealki irakurtzeko ezintasuna. Espainiaren kasua (1896-1973)

The evolution of the quality of an artificial material in subsequent periods should not present setbacks. Technological development and monitoring the execution should ensure a favourable outcome in quality. However, socioeconomic and political forces can distort the course of this evolution, making it impossible for a linear reading; serving as an example of this is the history of reinforced concrete in Spain. The purpose of this article is to explain this evolution, comparing and analyzing chronologically the data obtained from a series of structures built in the Basque Country in the past.
