Spanish term (edited):
apeos y apuntalamientos
Selected
props and shores
I thinkt the two words are used together in both languages to describe various types of props used to shore up buildings in danger of collapse, etc.

scaffolding or bracing (or shoring up) (of damaged buildings)
Basically offering a couple other alternatives in line with Gilla.
I found the coaatmca.com link, too, and if I was walking by on the street talking with someone , I would call the things in the pictures scaffolds or braces in everyday plain speak. May not be 100% on word but I think people would understand what you're talking about.
