English term

spelling

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Hello!

The term appears in the maintenance description for slab tracks, the text specifically talks about the building of cracks on the tracks and what that means for the overall security.

Context:

In general the interval of the cracks are in a range of 2 to 3 meters.
A shorter distance of the cracks could be a result of a more quick setting process (temperature influence).
The transversal cracks in the infill concrete should not cross themselves due to the arising spellings (bevelled transversal cracks).
Spellings are to be documented.
In general, cracks can be tolerated as long as the reinforcement is protected against corrosion.

Thank you very much in advance!
