Spanish term

derivaciones

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering tensile structures
This is from a paper on roof lanterns in tensile roofs. The supporting structure referred to here is the supporting structure of the lantern. I am not sure what is meant by "derivaciones" here:

"Para el diseño de la estructura portante son convenientes las formas contenidas en un plano con directriz de circunferencia o sus **derivaciones** como la curvas elípticas, ya que los esfuerzos se reparten de manera más homogénea en lo que podemos llamar un anillo de tracción."

Thanks!
