puntal, tirante, riostra/tornapunta
Explanation:
"Struts" puede ser cualquiera de estas cosas. El puntal es el que está sometido a compresión; el tirante es el que está sometido a tracción, y la riostra o tornapunta es (cito del diccionario de términos arquitectónicos de Joaquín del Soto Hidalgo) "la pieza que asegura, tiangulando, la rigidez de un entramado, un ángulo, etc." Espero que te sirva. Un saludo cordial.
