Spanish term

tirantes de compensación

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Bridges
From a text from Spain for translation to British English. About a cable-stayed bridge:

"Los tirantes de compensación se anclan en los contrapesos, unidos a las torres, independientes del tablero."
Por tanto en el tablero no hay equilibrio de fuerzas horizontales entre los tirantes delanteros y los de compensación."

"Las cargas horizontales de los tirantes traseros se transmiten al terreno mediante los pilotes de cimentación."
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 compensation stays / braces / guy wires

compensation stays / braces / guy wires

Again, I think "stays" is most appropriate here.
