bow effect
bow means :lazo
However it depends on the whole context,check to see if Efecto lazo,doesn´t have any connection with bond,meaning efecto de conección,de unión,best of luck!

tightening effect
in a bowstring bridge, the ends have LAZOS...to tie down the bowstring NOT LOOPS....so they are talking about the tightening effect...as in:
... with welds, ***provided that the final tightening*** of the ... are many types of steel bridge,
eg simple ... girders, trusses (Pratt, warren and bowstring), arches, cable ...

Here is the general idea of these lazos....
Outward Thrust
An essential result of building an arch is that there will be an outward thrust at each end. This has to be resisted by the abutments. If you don\'t believe this, try standing with one foot in a small boat and one foot on the river-bank, or better still, with your hands on the bank and your feet in the boat. You will very soon be in the water. Standing with your legs wide apart on ice will have a similar effect. The two pictures below show Telford\'s bridge at Over, near Gloucester, which was completed in 1829. When the centring was removed, the crown sank about ten inches, because the thrust was not properly resisted, but the bridge was used until 1974, when a steel bridge was built nearby, to carry a much wider road, the A40.
******The only way to avoid the thrust reaching the abutments is to tie the ends of the arch together, using the deck or some cables. **** This creates a tied arch, or bow-string arch. If the arch design is chosen to provide a passage for ships or traffic underneath then the tie method may not be acceptable, unless the whole thing can be built high enough. Then the road is very high, which creates problems with the approaches, unless the arch spans a deep narrow valley. But in such a case, the rocky sides will probably take the thrust in any case.
I didn\'t mean a bowstring bridge above...I meant a bowstring. The text above gives the general idea. This is about tightening the cables or whatever is providing the transversal support....
NO LOOPS IN MY OPINION....lazo is what ties off the bowstring in ARQUERIA...los lazos del arco are the KNOTS at the end of the bowstring that attach it to the BOW.....that\'s how you TIGHTEN IT...
effect LAZOS=tie off effect OR tightening effect
