Abstract: In this paper the publications from Spanish institutions listed in the 
journals of the Construction & Building Technology subject of Web of Science 
database for the period 19972008 are analyzed. The number of journals in 
whose is published is 35 and the number of articles was 760 (Article or Review). 
Also a bibliometric assessment has done and we propose two new parameters: 
Weighted Impact Factor and Relative Impact Factor; also includes the number 
of citations and the number documents at the institutional level. Among the 
major production Institutions with greater scientific production, as expected, 
the Institute of Constructional Science Eduardo Torroja (CSIC), while taking 
into account the weighted impact factor ranks first University of Vigo. On the 
other hand, only two journals Cement and Concrete Materials and Materials de 
Construction agglutinate the 45.26% of the Spanish scientific production 
published in the Construction & Building Technology subject, with 172 papers 
each one. Regarding international cooperation, include countries such as 
England, Mexico, United States, Italy, Argentina and France.
