Tech/Engineering - Architecture / technical report on snow
Spanish term or phrase: posible sobredimensionado
See below thanks for a technical reprt re damages to a building.

En el caso de la fachada sur, donde se han alcanzado una altura de nieve de hasta 80 cm, se ha comprobado que la estructura agota por completo el coeficiente de seguridad establecido en la normativa para las acciones y se considera que la probabilidad de fallo sería muy grande.

No obstante, cabe indicar que el que se haya agotado completamente el coeficiente de seguridad de las acciones no significa que la estructura vaya a colapsar inmediatamente ya que, habitualmente, las estructuras no se diseñan con un dimensionado estricto y hay otros parámetros como la resistencia de los materiales, que pueden hacer que la capacidad de los elementos sea superior a la estimada, pero sí indica que se ha superado el límite normativo de cargas con el margen de seguridad establecido y sin un análisis exhaustivo elemento por elemento del posible sobredimensionado de cada uno de ellos, no puede garantizarse que la estructura esté fuera de una situación de riesgo.

possible structural movement


Explanation:
possible structural movement (of those elements)

"Through a combination of interior collapses and movement of structural members or due to a major interior collapse, failure of part of an exterior wall can occur."
https://www.firehouse.com/operations-training/article/105449...

"Types of structural movement ; These types include: Subsidence, Settlement, Heave, Sway, Bouncy floors, Bulging walls, Expansion and Contraction, and Cracks."
https://www.acredesign.co.uk/structural-engineer-2/structura...

"There are several possible causes of structural movement: poor design or workmanship when undertaking alterations; failure of structural components, such as lintels or arches over door and window openings; or foundation failure due to ground movement. Tracing the cracks is usually a good indicator of the source of the problem – if the cracks track down to the ground, there is a good chance this is where the problem lies."

It can be shorten to " possible movement" to match the context and still understood by engineers.
