Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Hydrology
English term or phrase: embankment
Qual seria a melhor tradução, tecnicamente falando?

Exemplos do texto:

"Design a culvert size for a new embankment or a culvert replacement."

"Consider the case of a new road embankment proposed in an alignment that intersects an existing stream."

Figura com esta legenda: "Examples of methods to preserve existing stream conditions in culverts". Itens indicados na figura: precast concrete box culvert set below streambed; precast concrete box culvert; top of embankment.

Vejo traduções para "embankment": dique, aterro, terra­ple­nagem, barragem (ou algo não apontado aqui).

O que seria melhor?

Muito obrigado!
