Eduardo Torroja y Miret (1899–1961) was a Spanish structural engineer pioneer in the design of concrete-shell structures. His first large project was the Tempul cable-stayed aqueduct in 1926 Guadalete Jerez de la Frontera in which he used prestressed girders and he made his name with the concrete shell-roof at the Algeciras Market Hall (1933).
