Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering | | Spanish term or phrase: 25,00m de luz | From the same text about road construction:
Se indicará a continuación el proceso constructivo a llevar a cabo para la construcción de cada una de las estructuras.
A.1.2.7.1 Paso superior XXXX.
El paso superior XXXX consta de doble tablero de 12,70m de ancho cada uno y ***25,00 m de luz***. La estructura está formada por una cimentación directa con zapatas de hormigón armado, pilas y muros de estribo de hormigón armado y losa de tablero de hormigón armado y postesado. |
| | | 25.0 m span | Explanation:
"luz" in these sorts of contexts (bridges, beams, window openings, etc.) refers to clear span or open span between two supporting points. A good mnemonic is to think in terms of "seeing daylight" between the two end supports. |
