Spanish term

aspa de molino

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Formwork systems
Not strictly about formwork, or strictly a translation, more about describing a shape in a recognisable way.

This comes from a set of instructions for formwork for casting columns and appears as "aspa de molino" or just "aspa".

I think the best idea is to imagine the shape you get from connecting 4 x 1 metre wide panels at right angles to leave a 0.5 metre square in the middle. You then have 4 bits sticking out. What would you call a shape like that?

Context from the document:
"Los paneles se unirán entre sí formando una disposición de “aspa de molino”."
"El panel está dotado de una serie de orificios alineados que nos permitirán montar cuatro paneles formando un aspa. Este aspa debe encerrar el hueco que ocupará el pilar a hormigonar."
