Reinforced concrete was introduced by patented systems into Spain towards the end of the 19 th c. Early patents were effectively foreign trademarks, although Spanish engineers, architects and industrialists soon developed their own RC systems. Local builders would build structures with scarce little regard for calculated design and construction in the first decade of the 20 th century. Nevertheless, as further knowledge was required, increasing research led to new RC standards in numerous countries, such as France and Germany. In the second decade of the 20 th century, the use of patent systems declined. The teaching of RC started at the Spanish Civil Faculty where systems of scientific calculation were rapidly adopted, although no Spanish RC standard was drafted, unlike the situation in the leading European countries of that time. Hence, the RC structures that proliferated across Spain were mainly based on French or German standards. Spanish industrial activity began to develop in northern areas of the country where the use of new materials was pioneered over the following decades. Nowadays, some of those structures are listed heritage buildings. In this paper, some common features of 15 RC structures built between 1915 and 1936 are discussed, by focusing on their conservation problems. Preliminary structural reports from engineers, architects, municipal councils and, in some cases, the owners of the buildings are compiled with information on the pathologies affecting the buildings and analyses of
Algunas de las intervenciones arqueológicas realizadas en Almuñécar a lo largo del s. XX han aportado una cuantiosa y relevante información referente a la prehistoria reciente, tanto por los materiales documentados como por la localización y emplazamiento de los asentamientos. Las intervenciones que se vienen desarrollando en la última década tanto en el propio promontorio de San Miguel como en su territorio más cercano, el denominado Monte de Velilla, han aportado nuevos registros arqueológicos que nos hablan del final de la etapa argárica en este espacio del litoral costero y como en el período del bronce final, se vuelve a ocupar, esta vez en el cerro de San Miguel, debido en gran medida a los contactos iniciados con asentamientos estables en la zona de poblaciones semitas procedentes del mediterráneo oriental.
