Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Scaledrake

👉 In the context of structural engineering, "scaled rake" is a term used to describe the relationship between the slope of a bridge or other structure and its horizontal distance from the centerline. This slope can be either positive or negative, indicating whether the bridge's top edge is higher than the bottom edge. The scaled rake of a structure can have practical implications for engineers designing structures with specific loads such as seismic or wind loads. For example, if a bridge has a scaled rake greater than 20
