AB Reinforced concrete structures came to Spain in the late-nineteenth century, somewhat after the development of this new construction material elsewhere in Europe. Their introduction was pioneered in industrialized areas, especially Northern Spain, under systems first patented in other European countries. Local constructors built structures under patents with little or no explanation for calculation, design and construction technique. Some of these buildings from the recent past are now listed buildings. This study centres on three construction projects under patented systems: Our Lady of "La Antigua", Orduña (Monier system), "La Ceres" flour mill, Bilbao, (Hennebique system) and Alhóndiga, Bilbao (Blanc system). Preliminary structural studies analyzed morphology, reinforcements, concrete strength and pathological processes in each structure. Results are compared with information taken from the patent systems in use at the time. This useful information on the structures, which may be expanded in future research, clearly describes the relationship between their theoretical specifications and the built reality.

NO We express our gratitude to the Basque Regional Government (IT781-13 Research Group) and to the Vice-Rectorate of Investigation of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) for grant PIF 2013. Furthermore, the researchers would like to thank the authors (engineers, architects, municipal councils and owners of the buildings) of the pathological studies for their contribution to this study.
