Building restoration
Can anyone help me out with the English translation of "ammorsamento" as part of building restoration. The term occurs in the specification of a project to restore a ruined "palazzo":
- Ammorsamento con barre d’acciaio dell’angolo tra il prospetto nord e la muratura ad essa ortogonale
- Ammorsamento con barre d’acciaio dove il parete si innesta agli edifici confinanti
Thanks for your help, Sarah.

Thanks for your help, Sarah.
