hump slab

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Hello,

The term appears in the maintenance description for slab tracks, the text specifically talks about inspections of the track rails. I don't really know how to translate "hump slab". Does anyone have an idea?

Context:

Segmented hump slab (solidly connected to the layer below)

Thank you very much in advance!
Proposed translations (Spanish)
4 losa con resaltes | montantes

"The combination of slab track system and humped sleepers results in a humped slab track."

"Moreover, the rail seats in this superstructure were elevated above the slab level by means of reinforced concrete protuberances called humps. Hence, the transmission of sand dunes occurred through the transverse channels between the humps and beneath the rails."
