In civil engineering,

Backdrop is a structural support used to provide a stable foundation for various components of a structure. It is commonly used in the construction of bridges, buildings, and other large structures. The backdrop is typically constructed out of concrete and steel, and may include a number of vertical and horizontal members. The backdrop provides a solid foundation for the components of the structure, ensuring that the structure remains stable and secure.

In Plumbing,

Backdrop is a piece of material, usually metal, that is used to reinforce a joint between two pipes. It provides additional strength to the joint and helps protect the pipes from damage due to vibration or pressure changes. Backdrops are commonly used in high-pressure plumbing applications where the joint may be subject to significant stress or movement.
