Abstract


The present work performs a bibliometric analysis of the production of doctoral theses on concrete defended in Spanish universities between 1977 and 2019, and collected in the TESEO database of the Ministry of Education and Professional Training. The total number of theses recovered is 689. The evolution of thesis production has been reviewed based on the years of defense, the writing languages, the reading universities, and the doctors in charge of directing, as well as the information on members of the evaluating courts. It is concluded that the number of theses on concrete has increased considerably in recent years, highlighting Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña and Universidad Politécnica de Valencia as institutions with high number of theses produced and a significant presence of their lecturers among the most productive directors and members of the courts with the greatest presence.
