Caros colegas,

Estou fazer a tradução de um glossário de siderurgia e, entre as dezenas de termos, tenho 7 críticos. Um deles é cantilever wall.

Contexto´(único disponível):
Eurocode 3 Section 1.8.5 defines a cantilever wall as a wall whose stability depends solely upon the penetration of the sheet piling into the ground.

Caros,

Obrigada a todos pela ajuda. Com algumas referências de outras fontes, parece que esta opção é a mais correcta no contexto.
A propósito, descobri que em Portugal este tipo de muro chama-se "muro em consola" - to whom it may concern :)

Obrigada, muito !
