Good Morning,
I am editing a paper on bridges. they refer to the a technique called "Habitable hollow beam" and modular -arch system.
my doubt in the "field" above is the cajones - it has been translated as drawers but I don´t think so.
can you help?
thanking you in advance

Tal y como he comentado en el hilo de discusión, me inclino que el término para "cajón" es "caisson".

Well... following clarification by the asker, I think that "cajón" can refer to "foundation" (i.e. "cimiento"/"cimentación").

Han traducido "cajón " como "drawer", pero me parece que el término más adecuado sería "caisson". "Drawer" es, en general, un lugar para guardar cosas.
El término "cajón" (Arq. e Ing.) constituye un armazón hecho de modo que no se filtre el agua y que permita construir en seco tanto las fundaciones como los cimientos de puentes o edificios.
