inclined struts


Explanation:
Hi,
I have posted this suggestion, mainly because I am unable to find "deviated struts", although "deviated saddles" exists:)

Escoras e selas de desvio
As escoras de desvio são perfis tubulares rectangulares, cuja finalidade consiste em desviar os cabos de pré-esforço e na transmissão da força de desvio para a estrutura metálica. As selas de desvio são peças que se localizam na parte inferior das escoras de desvio e visam desviar o cabo de pré-esforço, sem ferir as bainhas dos cordões. Para atender a este efeito, as superfícies de contacto das selas com os monocordões encontram-se revestidas com politetrafluoretileno (PTFE). Para permitir a recolha dos cabos, as selas encontram-se dotadas de um sistema de abertura que possibilita uma constante adaptação da sua posição e, deste modo, um funcionamento compatível com a rigidez dos cordões.

I get the idea that these struts are load-bearing or weight-bearing (in that they deflect the load on the bridge)

anyway, I hope this helps.
