Spanish term or phrase: valores límites de alabeo
This is from a contract for the construction of a railway line. It is Chilean Spanish, I think and I'm tranlating to US English.
TIA!

Durante el período de marcha en blanco el Contratista debe, sistemáticamente, antes de retomar los ensayos, asegurarse de que las condiciones de seguridad relacionadas con la circulación de los trenes estén satisfechas, en particular en cuanto se refiere al paso del gálibo, del riel, de los valores límites de alabeo y el estado de engrase de los rieles.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I'm curious how you arrived at this. Have you heard this term before? I thought it might refer to the track buckling, or possibly shifting or moving.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  James Arthur Williamson: But "alabeo" can also be torsion, twist(ing), pitch, washin/washout, warp(ing)/warpage, tilt(ing) or roll, depending on the context. Tilt in land vehicles, like roll at sea, is rotation on the longitudinal axis.
