pórticos de acero

[Little_Little]

Hi!

I'm translating an architectural text and I have no idea how to trasnlate the word "pórtico". It refers to the combination of a beam and two pillars. A goal would be a perfect example of a "pórtico". Is there any word for that? Could you please check my translation and correct antyhing that souns weird?


Original
"Se propone una estructura mixta, formada por pórticos de acero bajo losas macizas de hormigón armado. Las gradas del polideportivo se plantean con elementos prefabricados y las cubiertas se plantean con unos elementos principales de acero en forma de boomerang."


Translation:
"The suggested structure consists of a composite steel and concrete structure, formed by steel beams and pillars under reinforced concrete slabs. The grandstand is built with prefabricated elements and the roofs with boomerang-shaped steel beams."


Thanks in advance!

I see, it's some kind of a bigger structure than a common pórtico (with an arch instead of a beam).

There are some results at EuroDicAutom:

* bridge or crane bridge or portal crane ("grúa pórtico", see picture)

* cross frame ("pórtico transversal", estructura)

But the most common used term is frame, as for the structure type.

¡Espero que te sirva de ayuda!

I tant!

I think frame responds quite well to the shape I have in mind... I hadn't thought of it, but it must be a good option...

Any other suggestion from a native speaker?

Thanks!

Un pórtico es un 'moment frame'.

[Little_Little]

Moment frame?! Y lo de moment? Un pórtico no tiene mucho que ver con un momento no? Entiendo momento como "Magnitud resultante del producto del valor de una fuerza por su distancia a un punto de referencia."

Aunque realmente si lo pones en google entre comillas las fotos que salen no mienten... Gracias!
