  3. W A L L INTRODUCTION What do weknowaboutwalls?

  4. W A L L A wall is an upright structure of masonry, wood, plaster, or other building material serving to enclose, divide, or protect an area, especially a vertical construction forming an inner partition or exterior siding of a building. DEFINITION

  5. W A L L WALL IN ARCHITECTURE In architecture the walls can comply the function of linking, as well as separate spaces. The arrangement of the wall can be used to create a journey into a place such as in a museum, from input to output through all modules. A wall can divide terrains that are open spaces, to limit a structure of another adjacent one.

  6. W A L L Walls in Urban Planning Since the beginning of the civilization, cities instinctively created walls to protect the city from external attacks and to delimit the space where the city would develop. They were then used for a purpose most studied in the case of the Berlin Wall and the Great Wall of China, which emerged from a political conflict and were used to end territorial disputes and separate population.

  7. W A L L Bearing Wall Characteristics The bearing wall, is a type of wall that bears a load resting upon it by conducting its weight to a foundation structure. Depending on the type of building and the number of stories, load-bearing walls are gauged to the appropriate thickness to carry the weight above them.

  8. W A L L CHARACTHERISTICS -Only appear where loads are carried by other members, as in heavy timber and other skeletal structures. - Since it only supports its weight it becomes a curtain screen; and admits treatment in any durable, weather-resisting material, examples of this is the glass curtain wall Walls that are only intended to support themselves and the weight of the cladding or sheathings attached. Non load bearing walls provide no structural support and may be interior or exterior walls. TYPES OF WALLS NON-BEARING WALLS
