Notes to answerer
Bogdan Petrovic This Metro Line has 12 stations and 1 depot (4 stations for Section 1, 6 stations for the initial Section 2 and 2 more stations plus 1 depot additionally foe the extension to Straulesti) and runs over 13 km (5 km on Section 1, 6 km on the initial Section 2 and 2 more km for the extension)

Bogdan Petrovic Потез?

zoe1 Mislim da se u ovom kontekstu section odnosi na odeljak dokumentacije koja se podnosi u ovom slučaju na crteže. Ne bih rekla da je potez ili deonica, jer u tekstu piše - planovi,( odeljci), šeme, dijagrami.

Slobodan Kozarčić Да, тачно. Нисам се баш удубљивао у материју током три минута колико увек на свако питање потрошим јер ме је завело додатно објашњење постављача питања за реч section у ком она значи баш то што сам написао.

Natasa Stankovic Pošto se nalazi u nabrajanju pod „drawing parts“, mislim da je u tom kontekstu <b>section > presek</b>; pošto je cross-section > poprečni presek, poprečni profil (B. Vukičević, Građevinski rečnik) - tj. vrsta crteža, grafičke dokumentacije. To nije isto što i „Section“ u dopunskom citatu kolege Bogdana, datom ovde - u diskusiji. U tom slučaju mislim da se radi o „sekciji (metroa)“ - v. npr. https://lat.rtrs.tv/vijesti/vijest.php?id=116876

Bogdan Petrovic Hvala

Hochofen


Definition from Brockhaus:
Hochofen, metallurgischer Schmelzofen zur kontinuierlichen Gewinnung von Roheisen aus oxidischen Eisenerzen, Kiesabbrand oder Schrott.

Example sentence(s):
  • Viele Hochöfen sind inzwischen stillgelegt. - Wiktionary  
  • Ein Hochofen ist ein schachtförmiges Aggregat, das nach dem Gegenstromprinzip arbeitet. Die grobkörnigen Einsatzstoffe (Koks und Möller, also Eisenerz + Zuschläge) werden von oben über die Gicht chargiert, während das Reduktionsgas von unten der absinkenden Schüttung entgegenströmt. - Stahl-Online  
  • Hoch|ofen, der (Technik): großer Schmelzofen zur Gewinnung von Roheisen. - Duden  

Explanation:
Die Brockhaus Definition ist sehr knapp. Außerdem werden Kiesabbrand und Schrott zur Roheisengewinnung nur sehr selten genutzt. (eher Stahlgewinnung)
