Quadrapod

English to French Tech/Engineering Architecture
Rebonsoir,

j'aurais de nouveau besoin de votre aide pour un terme assez casse-tête...

Voici le contexte :

"A key challenge of the project was the construction of the arena’s soaring 110m by 220m clear-span roof structure, which is made up of a system of arching secondary trusses and curved primary bow-trusses supported at one end on leaning ‘quadrapod’ legs."

Merci d'avance !

Madeleine Chevassus Nov 15, 2011:
Il me semble qu'il faut chercher dans le vocabulaire architectural (gothique?) plutôt que photographique ou chirurgical.

Another version - without "leaning"! "A key challenge was the construction of the arena’s soaring 110m x 220m clear-span roof structure, which is made up of a system of arching secondary trusses and curved primary bow-trusses supported at one end on ‘quadrapod’ legs."

quadripode

By analogy with a photographer's 'tripod' (tripode), but with an extra 'pode'.
