     eduardo torroja’s thin concrete shells stand among the best examples of structural engineering work of the 20th century. at a time when computers did not exist, torroja’s imagination and creativity were not constrained by the limits of the analytical methods available for structural design, and he was able to design and build economically innovative structures of the highest aesthetic quality. one of his major creations was the roof of the frontón recoletos, a unique two lobe thin shell that was destroyed during the spanish civil war. this paper reviews briefly the history of the frontón, shows the results of a structural analysis of its roof by several finite element (fe) models of different complexity and precision, and compares fe results to those obtained by torroja. fe results confirm the validity of torroja’s conceptual design, although he seems to have underestimated the internal forces and stresses in the roof. in addition, the paper analyses in detail the influence on the behaviour of the roof from its support conditions and from the stiffening ribs that torroja designed but that never were built. as a result, the paper enables a better understanding of one of the masterpieces of structural art, and of simplified and complex shell analysis models, which is useful for the education of engineers as well as for future designs.
