GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Seismic design of power plants and associated civil works
Spanish term or phrase: \"las planchas de la corrida inferior de la envoltura cilíndrica\"
The document specifies seismic design reqirements for power plants and associated civil works in Chile.

The full sentence is:

"El espesor tb de la placa de fondo debajo del manto no será mayor que el espesor de ****las planchas de la corrida inferior de la envoltura cilíndrica****, pero en ningún caso inferior a 6 mm."

I'd be very grateful for any help with this, please. My draft translation is:

"The thickness tb of the bottom plate beneath the shell will not be greater than the thickness of ****the plates of the under-run of the cylindrical casing****, but in no case less than 6 mm.

Is "of the plates of the under-run of the cylindrical casing" correct.

If not, what might it mean?

Thank you in advance.
