The Spanish engineer Eduardo Torroja developed his understanding of reinforced concrete both by measuring the behaviour of full‐scale structures and by making and testing models of elements of a structure. As he became more confident with such tests so he was able to reduce the scale of the models down to 1:10 and smaller, and make models of whole structures. In 1933 he tested a model of the shell roof of the Algeciras market hall and in 1935 he built and tested arguably the most sophisticated structural model ever constructed – for the Frontón Recoletos, a hall for the Basque sport of pelota, in Madrid.
