Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / scaffolding
English term or phrase: reveal tie
"If a putlog scaffold has 17 ties in it, how many can be reveal ties? 8, 9, 0 or 17?"
(Question from an exam in scaffolding)
I am not sure if I should translate "tie" by "attache", "lien" or "tirant" in this context?
And anybody knows what a "reveal tie" is?

étançon/traverse d'ancrage / d'amarrage
Explanation:
"Les étançons sont verrouillés transversalement dans les
fenêtres sur des cales de contre-plaqué de préférence
CTBX avec une liaison par tubes et colliers entre l'étançon
et le montant des échelles de la structure."
http://www.altrad.com/.../NOTICEMONTAGEFAC45.pd...

"The least ‘invasive’ tie is a scaffolding reveal tie which use an opening in the structure but use a tube wedged horizontally in the opening. The reveal tube is usually held in place by a reveal screw pin and protective packing at either end. A transom tie tube links the reveal tube to the scaffold. As reveal ties rely wholly on friction and require regular checking they are not well regarded so it is not recommended that more than half of all ties be reveal ties."
