ENTRE APOIOS." o que está em maiúsculas são as palavras em relação às quais preciso de ajuda.

The pillars/columns supporting/of the the mezznanine structure(s) can/may only rest on strips/bands of 1 metre in length...... In this way, the structures should cover openings of 8 metres between supports.

Bnads/strips I'm not too convinced about. Could you supply more context?

may only rest on 1 meter-wide SUPPORTS


Explanation:

SPAN 8 meter-openings between THEM.



The faixas are the supports for the columns therefore that must be 1 meter wide. If you translate faixa as support then the rest of the sentence is easy.
