CORDA

bridge construction
This term has come up in a technical Survey of a trelice type bridge construction, where the surveying engineer is assessing the weights of various components of the bridge to calculate bending forces and stresses etc.
I am wondering if it is some sort of steel work (cordon??) for a walkway under the bridge or something?
Here follows some text:
PESO-PROPRIO DA CORDA INFERIOR
Foi considerado a etapa onde os perfis da corda inferior estão posicionados sobre a plataforma, porém ainda não interligados.
Peso Próprio da corda inferior em trecho correspondente a aproximadamente 22m, a partir no meio do vão.

CHORD
Bottom chord, nesse exemplo. Dezenas de referências. A palavra mais usada em português é BANZO, em vez de corda.

Banzos (ou cordas) são os perfis superior(es) e inferior(es) de uma treliça, apenas isso. Sempre que você visualizar "truss" no google images, vai ver diversos exemplos de top chord e bottom chord.

wire
A wire is a single strand or a group of strands of an electrically conductive material, usually aluminum or copper.
Uses: To bear mechanical loads, to carry electricity and telecommunications signals (...) Since the text refers to something that is assessing the weights of components...I think it is the correct term due to the context.
