Once you've cleared fallen debris -- or if a structure is liable to collapse further -- you should shore it up with timbers. Strutting is the same process applied to doors and windows. There are three main types of shoring -- raking, flying and dead shore. Don't overdo things with shoring. The idea is support, not reconstruction. 3, record 1, English, - shoring

Entretoisement et étaiement. Après avoir enlevé les décombres -- ou si une structure menace de s'effondrer davantage -- il faut étayer la surface avec des madriers. Lorsqu'il s'agit de portes et de fenêtres, on parlera d'entretoisement. Il existe trois principales sortes d'étais : la contre-fiche, l'étai volant et l'étai fixe. Ne tombez pas dans l'excès. Il s'agit de soutenir et non de reconstruire. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9taiement

Lorsque les enseignants s'efforcent de construire l'apprentissage des élèves par étayage, ils évaluent les forces et les faiblesses d'un élève, et à partir de cette évaluation, lui suggèrent comment poursuivre son apprentissage. Dans ce contexte, au lieu de donner une réponse aux élèves, les enseignants s'efforcent de leur donner des indices pour leur permettre de parvenir eux-mêmes à la réponse. 6, record 2, French, - %C3%A9tayage
