bond beam


Explanation:
Por la referencia a bloques de concreto de 20cm, y a los machones, sospecho que sea lo que en EEUU llamamos "bond beam". Simplemente, un bloque de concreto en forma de "U" , donde se colocan barras de refuerzo y se llenan de concreto. Generalmente le dan la vuelta a todo el perímetro de la edificación.

agree  Thomas Walker: The term "crown beam" is also used sometimes, even in recent documents. For example, see: http://reinforcedearth.com/sites/default/files/31stddesb.pdf... p. 3-4
