Ambas flexiones se toman con presfuerzo a la superestructura.
Roseanne Gaspari
English translation:pre-stressing
Explanation:
The meaning of the Spanish phrase is not clear but I have heard structural engineers talking about pre-stressed steel and pre-stressed structures. Also "stress" may be translated into Spanish as "esfuerzo".
