panta a unui drum = grade Explanation: Din cate am gasit dever = panta (vedeti referintele). Si in acest caz, Dictionarul Tehnic Roman-Englez spune ca "panta a unui drum = grade". Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +1cant or superelevation (of a road) Explanation: "Dever" provine din termenul francez "dévers", ca mulţi alţi termeni din domeniul construcţiilor civile. v. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road/rail) http://homeworkhowto.com/superelevation/ The cant of a railway track (also referred to as superelevation) or a road (sometimes referred to as camber or cross slope) is the difference in elevation (height) between the two edges. This is normally done where the railway or road is curved; raising the outer rail or the outer edge of the road provides a banked turn, allowing vehicles to traverse the curve at higher speeds than would otherwise be possible. A non-zero superelevation – meaning that the edges of the road or railway are at different heights – allows for a bank turn, letting vehicles traverse the turns at higher speeds than would otherwise be possible. Superelevation is sometimes referred to as the cant of a road or railway. An important calculation in superelevation is the maximum speed of a vehicle on a curved road. |
