| Abstract: |
Juan José Arenas, IABSE’s 2017 International Award of Merit in Structural Engineering, was a really prolific engineer in the design and construction of bridges and signature structures. This article briefly synthesizes the main projects of Juan José Arenas since he founded Arenas & Asociados. This phase runs from 1999 to his decease in November 2017. The last years of his professional career, but also those of more experience and knowledge. This period leaves a laudable legacy, with worldwide recognized structures as the Third Millennium Bridge in Zaragoza or the Viaduct over River Almonte (HSR Madrid-Extremadura). But, in addition, many other examples that, due to their uniqueness, suitability, soundness or details, deserve their mention and remembrance. |
