-Backup wall.: A metal wall panel system.; Example: Masonry ties fit in the horizontal mortar joints and are attached to the backup wall or structure.; es: Muro de respaldo.
-Brick courses.: Courses are continuous layers running horizontally, bonded with mortar.; Example: The outer walls of the building are made of stone and brick courses.; es: Hiladas de ladrillos.
-Concrete block.: An alternative construction material to brickwork with.; Example: Although the foregoing principles apply to concrete block buildings, there are two additional areas of concern with respect to timber buildings.; es: Bloque de hormigón.
-Dovetail insert.: A joint in woodworking where two sides are fitted together with interlocking pieces.; Example: Here's a dovetail masonry anchor that fits in a dovetail insert.; es: Inserto de cola de milano.
-Gravity load.: Is the vertical load acting on a building structure, including dead load and live load due to occupancy or snow.; Example: Exceptionally rigid structure, supporting virtually all lateral loads (such as wind loads) and sharing the gravity load with the core columns.; es: Carga gravitacional.
-Hanging off (of).: To be suspended from something; Example: The brick is hanging off of the structure at each relief angle or shelf angle.; es: Colgando (de).
-Horizontal mortar joints.: Mortar joints are the spaces between bricks, concrete blocks, or glass blocks, that are filled with mortar or grout.; es: Juntas de mortero horizontales.
-Ladder-type systems.: Systems that fit in the concrete block.; Example: If the backup wall is concrete block, there are ladder-type systems.; es: Sistemas tipo escalera.
-Laterally.: es: Lateralmente.
-Masonry ties.: Are used in buildings with cavity walls. They are used to join the two leaves of a cavity wall; Example: Attach the masonry ties securely through the panels and into the steel or wood framing.; es: Amarres de mampostería.
-Multi-story.: Having more than two stories a multistory apartment building.; Example: Wives and children from Al-Silwadi family living in a multi-story building in Silwan, received an order from the occupying.; es: Varios pisos.
-Relief angle.: Angle that provides a break in the veneer to allow for the expansion and contraction of the masonry and the concrete structure.; Example: Per code, with wood and steel stud wall systems, relief angles must be provided at each floor when the wall height exceeds 30 feet.; es: Ángulo de alivio.
-Supports.: A structural support is a part of a building or structure that provides the necessary stiffness and strength in order to resist the internal forces.; Example: The support prevents the roof from collapsing.; es: Soportes.
-Tie (something) back to.: To bind or fasten something.; Example: They tie the brick back to the structure.; es: Atar (algo) a.
-Transfers.: A term used to describe the distribution load across discontinuities such as joints or cracks.; Example: This is important because if there is insufficient load transfer the loaded slab is likely to move downwards under load.; es: Transferencia.
-Wedge anchor.: Is a generic term for a type of anchor used to fasten a variety of materials to concrete.; Example: The Tie Wire wedge anchor is designed primarily for suspended ceiling installation.; es: Anclaje de cuña.
Air-entrained concrete.: The air included in the concrete is dispersed in the form of tiny spherical bubbles, connected to each other only by very small channels called pores, through which the water escapes during the drying of the concrete and after curing.; Example: It is recommended for almost all concrete, primarily to improve the freeze-thaw resistance of concrete exposed to water and deicers.; es: Concreto con aire incluido.
Architectural concrete.: It is a material that, in addition to complying with structural and mechanical specifications, offers the possibility of giving personality to a work, combining pigments with additives to achieve different shades, textures, shapes and visible finishes.; Example: The Bauhaus School uses architectural concrete to provide elegance and continue innovating.; es: Concreto arquitectónico.
Asphaltic concrete.: Refers to the material obtained through the oil refining process in which volatiles and part of their oils are eliminated, obtaining a viscous, impermeable, thermoplastic material that is highly adherent to stone materials.; Example: The roads are made of asphalt concrete.; es: Concreto asfáltico.
Cellular concrete.: Cellular concrete is a special type of lightweight construction material that is produced in the form of blocks or panels used for the construction of residential or commercial buildings.; Example: Cellular concrete blocks are very light.; es: Concreto celular.
Colored concrete.: Concrete whose formulation includes pigments based on metal oxides, obtaining a uniform color throughout the mass of the concrete.; Example: Used on footpaths.; es: Concreto coloreado.
Cured concrete.: It is the process by which concrete made with hydraulic cement matures and hardens over time, as a consequence of the continuous hydration of the cement in the presence of sufficient amounts of water and heat.; Example: Wet decks.; es: Concreto curado.
Exposed concrete.: It is the finish of the concrete element after stripping, removing burrs and some imperfections without much additional work.; Example: Rustic finish.; es: Concreto expuesto.
Green concrete.: It is defined as the cement that uses waste materials, respectful with the environment, that improves the 3 pillars of sustainability: the environment, the economy and the social climate.; Example: Sustainable concrete, concrete blocks with disposable materials.; es: Concreto verde.
Insulating concrete.: Is a white building (thermal) insulating material, which is obtained through a mixture that, when reacted, generates the formation of millions of air bubbles inside the mass.; Example: Cement block, siliceous sand, lime, water, incorporating an expansive agent, aluminum powder, at the end of the kneading process.; es: Concreto aislante.
Porous concrete.: it is a type of pavement with a porous surface that is made up of concrete, it is also considered a green pavement, it allows water to run through it instead of accumulating or leaving it.; Example: It is used on platforms, pedestrian paths, etc.; es: Concreto poroso.
Precast concrete.: Refers to the placement of concrete in some location other than its final position in the structure, usually in a story.; Example: Concrete panels that can be easily assembled.; es: Concreto prefabricado.
Prestressed concrete.: It is a technique that is carried out by tightening steel before placing the concrete to be worked on.; Example: Prestressed concrete is used in beams to reinforce structures.; es: Concreto pretensado.
Reinforced concrete.: It is a composite material that conventionally results from the incorporation of steel bars or meshes in the concrete mass. In other words, it is a concrete that has internal metallic armor.; Example: All structures have steel-reinforced concrete to withstand the stresses.; es: Concreto reforzado.
Unreinforced concrete.: Simple and cyclopean concrete comply well with compression forces, but do not behave well with tensile, bending, shear, etc. forces.; Example: This element is used to build different types of structures, such as highways, streets, etc.; es: Concreto sin refuerzo.
