English term or phrase: Quadrapod

Rebonsoir,

j'aurais de nouveau besoin de votre aide pour un terme assez casse-tête...

Voici le contexte :

"A key challenge of the project was the construction of the arena’s soaring 110m by 220m clear-span roof structure, which is made up of a system of arching secondary trusses and curved primary bow-trusses supported at one end on leaning ‘quadrapod’ legs."

Merci d'avance !
