Cordolature I concur with Russell, I would simply say 'kerbs'.
Sarah Weston (asker) Mar 18, 2009:
We're actually talking about walls here. Does that make a difference? I would eliminate strip footings for that reason, as there is a separate section on foundations.
Sarah Weston (asker) Mar 18, 2009:
Considering that they are internal... could you still use kerbs? I actually had to go with stringcourses as I was right on deadline, but I would be interested to know for future reference...
Russell Jones Mar 18, 2009:
various options Cordoli can be stringcourses but more commonly strip footings, edge-beams or kerbs; given the association with pilastrini I would guess at kerbs (or kerbing - english building terms often end in -ing, though this isn't a common one).
Sarah Weston (asker) Mar 18, 2009:
I've been translating it as "stringcoursing" but I've just had a sudden doubt...
