peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1tile (Moslem) vault Explanation: Não tenho certeza, mas achei algumas ref: http://www.jstor.org/pss/988501 Abobadilha Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Uma abobadilha é uma abóboda de tijolos presos com argamassa rica, de flecha muito pequena que pode cobrir vãos até 7 metros; a sua utilização na arquitectura popular alentejana, quer em habitações, quer em capelas, é provavelmente uma das heranças deixadas em solo português pelos muçulmanos.

infill pot (beam and pot floor) Explanation: This term caused me a lot a grief for years until I came across this discussion in the Spanish-English Kudoz pair: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/construction_ci... 'Bobedilla' or 'bovedilla' is the Spanish equivalent of abobadilha. It's worth reading the selected answerer's references and checking her web references. There are also some interesting illustrations at: http://www.precastfloors.info/applications/housing.html You could also Google "beam and pot floor(s)" and "infill pot". Hope this helps because I know how elusive the English translation of this term is. |
