Spanish term
asientos
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Castilian Spanish -> English. In a technical document about foundations (especially slab) the word "asiento" is used quite a bit. I cannot figure out if "settlement" or "seat" would be better in these examples, as I don't fully understand their meaning.
1) ...una cota en el terreno por debajo de la cual no se desarrollarán asientos significativos debido a las cargas que pueda transmitir el edificio.
2) Criterios tradicionales sobre asientos máximos admisibles indican un máximo de 5.00 cm para una cimentación superficial abordada mediante losa de hormigón armado
3) La estimación de los asientos producidos por una cimentación requiere la determinación de la distribución de presiones verticales...
4) El asiento en el centro se obtiene por combinación del asiento en la esquina de cuatro rectángulos iguales cuya superficie total coincide con la de la superficie cargada.
Please help.

Selected
settlement
"Settlement is an important criterion in the design of the foundations. It is classifying into immediate (or elastic) settlement and consolidated settlement (primary and secondary). The factors that affect the shallow foundation settlement are the applied loads, soil stiffness, and geometric shape
of foundation. Calculations of settlement depend on the parameters of soil which can be obtained from field and laboratory tests"
What is the allowable settlement of foundation?

Hugh Thomson
: Settlement is the usual term in EN-UK. Its prediction is one of the principal reasons for carrying out a soils investigation.

bearings
Bearing: an object, surface, or point that supports
"1) ...a ground level below which significant bearings will not be developed due to the loads that may be transmitted by the building"...

IATE offers"settlement/consolidation/subsidence", which might also work. I like "bearing" because of the implicit association with "load-bearing" construction.
