Spanish term or phrase: altas presiones de poros
Hi, I would really appreciate your help. I have some terms regarding a Regulation on Seismic-resistant Buildings I have been looking for and either not sure or can't find it.

Context for this one is regarding the stability of sloped land:
"a) Cuando las condiciones geológicas regionales y locales indiquen inestabilidad potencial de la zona
b) Cuando el área esté afectada por modificaciones en su topografía original, incluyendo terraceos, en especial donde existan zonas con línea de drenaje alta y cuerpos de relleno no confinados en bordes de laderas.
c) Lugares en condiciones geotécnicas desfavorables como: altas presiones de ***poros*** o suelos cuya resistencia se degrade durante la acción sísmica.
."

This seems like a typo of pozos, do you agree?, or is it a term describing soils?

Thanks a lot :)
