support/suspension (beams) Explanation: Not sure if the term is exact, but it fits the description. RAE describes sponda as: sopanda. (Del fr. soupente, de souspendre, suspender). 1. f. Madero horizontal, apoyado por ambos extremos en jabalcones para fortificar otro que está encima de él. 2. f. Cada una de las correas anchas y gruesas empleadas para suspender la caja de los coches antiguos. In the maquiobras weblink you can actually see a picture of the beams.

braced/strut framework Explanation: Not sure of your context here. I assume the armadura is not reinforcement here but a framework (?). Anyway, a sopanda is a knee brace, which is a short strut across the angle between a post and a beam (or a roof rafter) forming a triangle that stiffens the joint against wind. (Penguin dictionary of building), so I imagine that "armadura de sopandeo" is "braced or strut framework" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-03-07 16:45:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Translation of sopanda originally from Robb's diccionario para ingenieros |
