nervio in situ

English translation: site-cast / cast-in-place rib

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:nervio in situ
English translation:site-cast / cast-in-place rib
Entered by: Nedra Rivera Huntington

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / structure
Spanish term or phrase: nervio in situ
This is from a building specifications report. It comes under "structure".

The full sentence reads: "Estructura mediante pilares de hormigón armado y forjados reticulares con nervio in situ y capa de compresión de hormigón."

I'd just like confirmation that this would be "sitecast rib" or "cast-in-place rib". The terms are common, but I find very few collocations with "rib". Or am I just missing something here.

Thanks very much in advance.

Explanation:
I´m with you, after some ferreting. Below is a reference and a stream of consciousness commentary on how I came to agree with you!
www.schemmer.com/.../services/structuralEng.php&PN=Structur... : "The structural system for the Education Center for the Arts was a cast-in-place concrete joist and beam system"

Problem is that site cast and cast-in-place are normally used in conjunction with concrete, amd forjado makes me think of metal...no, I´ve just checked and it can be concrete too...

Thanks much for the research. I did a little more looking myself, and from this site (http://www.forjadoselprogreso.com/productos-forjadoinsitu.php) and others, it seems that the original is just not worded clearly.

I put just "rib" in the glossary because I figured it would be better not to change wording without having project-specific information.

Thanks again!
