Please see my answer to a previous question if you have not already:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/832480
I think that we have slightly different systems in Spain and England, and I have therefore not been able to find out what the "rebajada" part means here.
Product Data Sheet: Beam and pot
Abstract: Beam and pot floor systems combine precast prestressed concrete beams and proprietary full depth open void or solid infiller blocks, otherwise known as 'pots', to achieve a flush soffit. The beams are manufactured on beds varying in length between 50m and 200m using slip form, extrusion or wet cast techniques. A high strength concrete is used to provide wide ranging span and loading capabilities. The specially designed infill pots achieve a high load bearing capacity and they can carry blockwork partitions as well as stud partitions.

Thanks for your help. The translation was handed in this afternoon. However, I'd like to know the best answer and award points. I did mean bovedilla, but in the rush I put bóveda. This was a technical conformity document for reinforced concrete panels. At the end there were technical drawings and "bovedilla rebajada" came up in a "forjado unidireccional de viguetas semiresitentes de hormigón pretensado". In the diagram triangles within the slab are indicated as b.r..
I assume you actually mean a bovedilla rebajada (as in this link: http://www.prefraga.com/bloques.php?codigo=FC-010), in which case, I probably know what this is, but as there are many different types, it would help to have some more info about the slab if possible.
