Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / concert stage design
German term or phrase: gekröpft ausgebildet
Steel structure of an outdoor concert stage:

"Das vordere Portal wird mit dem hinteren Portal durch fünf eingeschobenen Dreigurtbinder mit den Querschnittsabmessungen 1050 x 550 mm im Bereich der Riegel miteinander verbunden. Die vorderen Portalstützen werden über die Riegel um 4,50 m in vertikaler Richtung verlängert und gekröpft ausgebildet. Diese dienen der Lastaufnahme von Lautsprecherboxen oder ähnlichen technischen Einrichtungen."

This modular steel structure consists of columns, framework girders and steel tubes.

How do I translate "gekröpft" properly?

Thanks in advance!
