Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / specification for construction of car test track
Italian term or phrase: punto di ripresa
I'm revising a translation done by someone else. Here's the context:

Taglio della sovrastruttura in conglomerato
bituminoso.
Taglio verticale degli strati nei punti di ripresa in senso
trasversale rispetto all'asse della carreggiata,
profondità di taglio da 3 a 6 cm.

"Punti di ripresa" was translated "acceleration areas", which can't be right. I'm thinking "around joints in the road", but am not sure.

Thanks.

joints in the concrete


Explanation:
I think this is what it means. One layer of concrete is cast and then another next to it. This is the interface between the two, the joint if you like.
