Spanish term or phrase: traba
Buenos días,

Estoy traduciendo un artículo sobre arquitectura al inglés, y mi duda es la palabra "traba" en la siguiente frase:

"La convivencia con las ruinas de la antigua arquitectura del mediterráneo, cuya estereotomía y traba carentes ya de revestimiento se ofrecían como perfecto paradigma, propició el primer Renacimiento Italiano"-.

Según el diccionario de la RAE, traba es "Piedra delgada y plana colocada de canto en la pared de mampostería".
Pero no encuentro otra acepción que le pueda ir bien aquí, y tampoco lo he encontrado en Inglés.
¿Alguna idea?

Gracias
