ridge purlins Explanation: "Correa cumbrera Correa superior que forma la arista del tejado denominada cumbrera. [...] Cumbrera Arista más elevada de un tejado, formada por la unión de dos vertientes de aquel. " http://www.conectore.com/ressources/glossaire/C correa (de cubierta) > purlin http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/construction_ci... cumbrera > ridge http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/architecture/19... (Actually I think cumbrera is strictly the ridge (arista) itself.) So correa (de) cumbrera = ridge purlin "ridge purlin A purlin, placed at the apex of a roof, which rests against the upper ends of the rafters." http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/ridge purlin |

rafter purlins Explanation: purlin = correa bar joist = vigueta http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1059104&lang... In architecture, structural engineering or building, a purlin (or historically purline, purloyne, purling, perling) is any longitudinal, horizontal, structural member in a roof except a type of framing with what is called a crown plate. In traditional Timber framing there are three basic types of purlin: purlin plate, principal purlin and common purlin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purlin https://www.google.es/search?q=metal 120 x 80 purlins for gr... http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/construction_ci... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2014-05-04 22:52:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Purlins are only used for building roofs and so you really don't need to mention roof, rafter or ridge. They are differentiated by the material they are made of and their shapes, and you see names like: • Rectangular Hollow Section Purlins (RHS Purlins) • Cee Purlins (C Purlins) • Zed Purlins (Z Purlins) http://www.k-structures.com/roof-purlin.html Types of Purlins – There are a variety a variety of purlins available in the market depending upon the material used, shape and size. The most commonly used purlins are the C sections, U sections and the Z- sections. https://exploreb2b.com/articles/all-about-purlins-c-and-z-ty... In Spanish, you need to say 'cumbrera' to explain what sort of 'correa' (a word with a number of definitions in Spanish) you are referring to. However, in English there is a specific word - purlin - and, in my very humble opinion, the use of 'roof', 'rafter' or 'ridge' is not really necessary. |
