This article analyses the cultural and technical reasons which led to the widespread use of reinforced concrete in the restoration of historical monuments during the 20th century [1].

This coincided with the abandonment of the traditional art of construction and, at the same time, the progressive loss of research on masonry structures. A subsequent lack of knowledge was the premise for much of the restoration work with reinforced concrete carried out at the time. This research reviews this critical period to try to understand why and how certain restorations were conducted. The use of this new technique became the standard practice for repairing any for...
