Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Civil works | | Spanish term or phrase: Viga asísmica | Tengo el diccionario para ingenieros pero no he encontrado nada.
La viga asísmica como su nombre lo dice es aquella viga que ayuda a las estructuras a soportar cargas sísmicas.
Esta va ubicada después de la zapata y pedestal y soporta la estructura correspondiente, ya sea piedra, concreto reforzado, ladrillos, etc.
Alguna idea? |
