Chicane Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicane A chicane is an artificial feature creating extra turns in a road, used in motor racing and on streets to slow traffic for safety. For example, one form of chicane is a short, shallow S-shaped turn, requiring the driver to turn slightly left and then right again to stay on the road, which slows them down. |

baffle Explanation: baffle, n. a device (as a plate, wall, or screen) to deflect, check, or regulate flow or passage (as of a fluid, light, or sound) http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/baffle?query=baffl... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days7 hrs (2015-02-28 08:31:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- baffle se uvek navodi kao sastavni deo rezervoara i hidrauličnih sistema. Nije teško pronaći reference na pretraživaču.

Nisam pronašla nigde objašnjenje šta je to - podrazumeva se da ako čitaš proračun za količinu betona znaš i šta je šikana. Prema poreklu reči iz francuskog zaključila bih da je to element u rezervoaru koji služi istoj stvari kao i baffle, da "spreči, omete ili šikanira" vodu da nešto uradi. |
