Portuguese term or phrase: largura de influência
This has something to do with beams: Nesta perspectiva, é possível encontrar para um mesmo vão e igual carga por m2, o perfil W410x38.8 a ser utilizado em situações que variam entre uma largura de influência de 2963mm (1) e os 1825mm (2) o que significa uma variação de carga na ordem dos -38%.
