Discussion

Mario Freitas Nov 18, 2014:
In correct Portuguese, it would either have to be "rampas-limite" or "rampas limítrofes". "Rampas limites" is incorrect whichever way you may think of it. There is no way you can have a noun followed by another noun, both in plural form, without a preposition or conjunction between them. The only explanation would be that one of them has the role of an adjective, in which case, what I said in the first phrase applies. Bett, as pessoas que redigem o ementário da universidade, por incrível que possa parecer, cometem erros terríveis de português como a maioria de nós mortais.
Muriel Vasconcellos Nov 17, 2014:
ramp/grade/gradient limits I assumed this term would be understood. It's referring to the % of grade that's allowed in earthworks. It can apply to roads or cutting out lots for homes. It's the limit beyond which an incline is too steep. For example, in California a lot with a homesite is not allowed to have a grade/gradient of over 40%. With roads, they also use the term ramp, because the issue typically relates to ramps for entering highways.

Caro Mario
Eu fui olhar o original para ter certeza de que não estava enganada. Mas está grafado deste modo mesmo! e veio direto do ementário da Universidade!

Joao Marcelo Trovao Nov 15, 2014:
Vou deixar para os colegas responderem por não ser um termo que tenho familiaridade, mas deixo aqui algumas coisas que encontrei que podem servir de norte, e quem validar (não terei tempo para fazê-lo)/achar que é a resposta correta, pode usar à vontade:
ruling grade
limiting grade
steepest grade
ruling gradient

Proposed translations

Selected

limiting slopes, limiting ramps

O que dificulta a vida do tradutor são os erros no original. Se o termo tivesse sido grafado corretamente em português, facilitaria muito a vida do tradutor. O termo é "Rampas-limite", com hífen e com o temo "limite" no singular por ter papel de adjetivo.

The best translation would be 'gradient limits', which I had put in my original answer and then accidentally left it out.
