Spanish term

cara de cercos

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
La frase entera es " El recubrimiento nominal de las armaduras debe ser igual o superior a 45 mm, siendo el recubrimiento igual a la distancia entre cara de cercos y superficie del hormigón" y estamos hablando de pilotes de hormigón armado. Creo que entiendo el concepto pero no encuentro una traducción que me satisfaga.
Muchas gracias a todos.

Hi Lynne, I added a couple more links, one from a reinforced concrete thesarus, and another from the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Lynne Gleghorn (asker) Mar 20, 2010:
This is the description of the term I have been given by one of the engineers on the project:
El cerco es un anillo que rodea el pilote (cuando es una columna el cerco es cuadrado y cuando es un pilote circular es un anillo). Lo que quiere decir aquí es que el recubrimiento de hormigón tiene que cubrir el cerco (para que no quede a la vista) y sobrepasarlo 4.5 cm por cada lado.
What do you think?

Yes, Sergio says he would go with "surface", and he's a Civil Engineer.

"Most of the piles driven in Great Britain have been made on the Hennebique system with four or six longitudinal steel rods tied together by stirrups or loops at frequent intervals."
http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Concrete_(Material)
"Stirrups - generally provided in a beam as shear
reinforcement (there by engineering design) or there as an
aid to hold the main reinforcement in the correct place."

Note from asker:
Strirrup or truss? According to the description given to me by the engineer it is obviously refers to the minimum concrete coverage for something and if Sergio says strirrup, who am I to disagree? However, I am still a bit doubtful. Thank you for your help
Peer comment(s):

agree Sergio Campo : Cerco=estribo=stirrup. I would go with surface. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cover

Thank you, Sergio. Admittedly, this is not my specialty, but I see you're a Civil Engineer, so that's encouraging, too! :)
agree eski : After reading Lynne's note above, I decline to your more accurate suggestion given the above context, Kenneth; Saludos! eski

Your text evidently refers to the mimimum concrete coverage for the trusses.

Note from asker:
You are obviously right that this refers to the minimum concrete coverag for something but, in the light of the discription given to me by the engineer, I am still a bit doubtful. What do you think? Your help is most appreciated.
Thank you for all your help. After your last comment I have decided to select Kenneth's answer. Best regards from Cadiz.
