Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems | | Spanish term or phrase: prisma resistente | Es un reglamento sobre el funcionamiento y características de depósitos de relaves (país de origen: Chile). La frase en cuestión aparece en esta definición:
Muro de contención o prisma resistente: la zona periférica del depósito de relaves estructurada artificialmente, que complementa el perímetro natural para conformar la zona de la Cubeta.
Tengo "retaining wall" para muro de contención pero no he podido encontrar la traducción de "prisma resistente".
Muy agradecida por la ayuda que puedan prestarme. |
