Spanish term or phrase: viga de cuelgue
Buen domingo compañeros,

tengo un texto sobre encofrados y no consigo dar con alguna explicación para esta viga. La traducción es al rumano, pero como no hay manera, intentaré buscarla a través del inglés (o del alemán, si alguine lo sabe).
Muchísimas gracias.
