enseño

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Seismic-resistant buildings
Hi, I would really appreciate your help.

I can't seem to understand what the text is trying to convey. Teaching or taught makes no sense at all. Anyone have an idea what it could mean? Take into consideration: the text is abominal, it could be a typo (wouldn't be the first one or hundred), it is Latin American Spanish and maybe its a specific word/expression I'm not aware of, and last but not least, I'm loosing it and could have missed the whole plot.

Context:
"Los efectos desfavorables de paredes enmarcadas por las vigas y columnas de los sistemas estructurales Tipos I y II, deben incorporarse tanto en el análisis mediante la reducción de R a un 75%, como en enseño."

thanks :)

muchas gracias emma :) la mayoría de los "typos" son como si los hubiera realizado un OCR, pero es la regulación original en pdf (??!!), por lo que las estoy solucionando con buscar palabras que se parezcan en "forma".

Porque existe el termino Enseñoramiento que lo utilizan como un "seizure" (fault), podria ser esto.
Tambien hay el termino Enserar, que es 'to cover with esparto matting'.
No logro descrifrarlo en tu texto.Saludos!

I don't envy you trying to make head or tail of this lot.
Note from asker:
lol :) thanks for you input. I am starting to think this text is actually an entry exam to the deciphering/decoding department of the CIA.

agree eesegura : Enseñar also means 'to show', and I was thinking 'example' before I saw this answer. It does make sense.
