Spanish term or phrase: desolidarización
Hi, I would appreciate your help with a few terms on construction, specifically regarding mortar.

Context is:
" Encuentros entre soportes diferentes

Los encuentros entre soportes de distinta naturaleza pueden ser realizados:

Marcando la junta, que en el caso de encuentros con forjados el CTE (punto 2.3.3.3) establece que “se dispondrá una junta de ***desolidarización*** entre la hoja principal y cada forjado por debajo de éstos dejando una holgura de 2 cm que debe rellenarse después de la retracción de la hoja principal con un material cuya elasticidad sea compatible con la deformación prevista del forjado y protegerse de la filtración con un goterón."


Thanks :)

Asker: Can soft and expansion be used interchangeably or are they different concepts when it comes to joints?
