English to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
English term or phrase: pile cap
O termo aparece na seguinte frase:

"Membranas de impermeabilização moldadas possuindo contornos tridimensionais são úteis para a “impermeabilização invertida” de áreas de detalhe, tais como estas representadas por “tiebacks”, canos, ** PILE CAPS **, e outras irregularidades que ocorrem em fôrmas de concreto e outras superfícies para construção civil."

O campo é engenharia / construção civil.

Os únicos significados que encontrei em um dic. técnico foram:

1. Cabeçote de cravação; 2. coroamento; 3. capeamento

E a definição em inglês (pelo webster online):

"Building & Civil Engineering - A reinforce-concrete mass cast around the head of a group of piles to ensure that they act together and distribute the load among them from the structure above"

Qual termo vocês considerariam mais correto neste contexto? Obrigado!
