Hi ha tinc la definició:
CONSTR Element de formigó armat que té la funció de mantenir els murs de càrrega d'un edifici units entre ells, repartir el pes del forjat i augmentar la resistència general de l'edificació.

Però, necessitaria la traducció.

El context:

Les façanes, amb portals a les bandes de llevant i ponent, es van definir amb pilastres i es van rematar amb un congreny de formigó.
