Spanish term

por porte (corte?) y flexión longitudinal

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Retention works on hillside
the context is here, in the 5th paragraph under DESCRIPCIÓN:

http://www.balzola.com/REFERENCIAS/OBRACIVIL/tabid/88/langua...

note: the text says "porte" but my contact thinks it is a typo for "corte" as per "corte y flexión" later in the sentence.

Many thanks!

Deborah, I honestly believe the first pat refers to "load and logitudinal flexing" (not flexion), and the second one refers to (maybe) cut.

Peer comment(s):

agree psicutrinius : De acuerdo con "shear" (cizallamiento"), mejor que corte en este contexto, y con Leonardo en "flexing"

muchas gracias, psicutrinius. Saludos :)
agree Sergio Campo : Thumbs up to shear for "corte". IMHO, and although it may seem paradoxical, the word for "flexión" in this engineering context is bending. See http://tinyurl.com/344wahg or http://tinyurl.com/2u34e5s for longitudinal bending
