stop-logs Explanation: It seems like the answer is in the quoted paragraph itself. I understand "com stop-logs" to be a sort of apposition that explains the previous term ("soleira variável"). If it were a new element, the second preposition ("com") would not make much sense. apposition defined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apposition "Stoplogs are hydraulic engineering control elements that are used in floodgates to adjust the water level or discharge in a river, canal, or reservoir. Stoplogs are sometimes confused with flashboards, as both elements are used in bulkhead or crest gates. Stoplogs are typically long rectangular timber beams or boards that are placed on top of each other and dropped into premade slots inside a weir, gate, or channel." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoplogs |

variable weir Explanation: e.g., Variable Weir A variable crest weir is a dam in which the depth of the notch can be regulated by raising or lowering the crest. Crest width. The width of the crest of a variable weir is measured in the direction of flow. The width of a variable weir with stop logs is the width of the stop logs. http://dpanther.fiu.edu/sobek/FI12090326/00001 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2019-04-26 19:09:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps 'variable spillway' would be better here. |
