Spanish term

trabamiento mecánico

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Steel Structures
Hi. I would appreciate your help.

I've come across this term. Here is some context.
"Las losas mixtas acero - concreto utilizan sofitos de acero galvanizado que tienen algún tipo de trabamiento mecánico con el relleno de concreto. Los sofitos que no tengan dispositivos de trabamiento mecánico no serán usados en las losas de sección mixta aquí definidas. Este trabamiento mecánico es suministrado por mecanismos de transferencia de corte o por el perfil geométrico del sofito o por una combinación de ambos. El trabamiento mecánico y/o perfil del sofito deberá suministrar la resistencia a la separación vertical y el deslizamiento horizontal entre las superficies de los dos materiales. "

Thanks for you help.

Robert

mechanical interlocking

The objective of this thesis is to analyse composite slabs which fail in longitudinal shear and flexural failure. An analytical approach based on FE simulations and data from small scale tests (detail tests) has been used. A new test rig has been designed and a procedure developed to evaluate the characteristics of the interaction. Mechanical interlocking resistance, reduction of mechanical interlocking due to high strains in the sheeting, and friction between sheeting and concrete has been assessed.

Note from asker:
Thank you very much P Forgas. Although "mechanical key" goes better with my text in other parts I have used it too. :)

some kind of stresses transference

the phrase wants to say tha the stresses are transmited from the steel to the concrete by the "sofitos"
In spanish (Spain and México) is well used to say "trabamiento mecánico" but In the engineering languaje it is most suitable to use "stresses transference".
