| | tridilosa construction | Explanation:
It would appear that the original Spanish term is used (it is patented). It was invented by the Mexican Herberto Castillo.
Como ingeniero civil, fue profesor por más 20 años, en la materia de Análisis y Diseño de Estructuras tanto en la UNAM como en el IPN. Fue ahí donde, en base a múltiples teorías, desarrolló un sistema estructural de entrepiso tridimensional mixto de acero y concreto, al que llamó "Tridilosa"*,cuya versatilidad le ha permitido emplearse en la construcción de edificios, puentes vehiculares, peatonales, presas hidráulicas, domos y como astillero flotante.
*La tridilosa surge con el fin de optimizar y racionalizar el diseño y construcción de estructuras, utilizando el concreto y al acero pues, a diferencia de las estructuras tradicionales, con ésta no es necesario utilizar concreto de relleno en la zona de tensión, sólo en la capa superior de compresión; lo cual supone un ahorro aproximado del 66 por ciento del concreto, dando como resultado una estructura que es, además, de mucho menor peso y con la que se puede cubrir grandes longitudes.

Heberto Castillo Martinez, a founder of Mexico's center-left
Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), died at age 68 in
Mexico City on Apr. 5, two weeks after being hospitalized for a
heart attack. Castillo was an engineer and a professor of physics
and mathematics; his earthquake-resistant "tridilosa" design for
buildings is used in a number of countries. But he was best known
for his work over decades to build a united, independent left in
Mexico.

Tridilosa is a highly light and resistant, material-efficent 3-D structure, made from steel and concrete and widely used in civil engineering, invented by the mexican engineer Heberto Castillo. Among the most remarkable features of this structure is that it can save up to 66% of the concrete used and up to 40% the amount of steel, due to the fact that it doesn't need to be filled with concrete in the tension zone, only in the superior compresion zone. It is so light that it can float on water, but at the sime time being able to be three times stronger than traditional construction flagstone. It was used, for example, to construct the 54-floor World Trade Center of Mexico City.

In addition to his political activities, Castillo also had a brilliant career as an engineer, developing the system of triangular supports (tridilosa) used in the construction of bridges and buildings.

Forgot to say yesterday that metálica = steel. However, as tridilosa is actually made of steel and concrete, I don\'t know why this has been specified. |
