The Uses and Types of Walls in Construction
The framework that supports Roofs, ceilings, floors, interior trims and coverings, and exterior trim and coverings. Two types or purposes Bearing and Non load Bearing --carries the weight from above, such as ceilings floors roofs most exterior walls tend to be bearing partitions Some more than others. Eve sides carry more loads then the gable sides. Non bearing walls serve only one purpose and that is to separate Materials- 2x4, 2x6 most exterior walls are going to be framed with 2x6 material for the one purpose of more insulation.
Orientation -southern exposure
Heat always goes to cold
Walls less than 10" we use stud grade, greater than 10" we need to use light framing. Common species are hemlock, spruce, pine, fir, and the further south you travel you'll find more Southern Yellow pine. Moisture content 19% or less. Dry areas where tile may be applied like a hot tub or bath. Lightweight steal again bearing and non-bearing 22-25 gauge the higher the gauge the thinner the steel. Bearing walls-18 gauge or less.
Plates- Horizontal framing members that ties the wall system together. Splices should fall on framing member and be staggered from top to bottom
Double top plate- Provides more support strengthens and ties other wall in with each other, straightens. The splice in a double top needs to be a minimum of four feet away from the splice in the top plate. . Nailing should be slightly toe nailed they should be flushed on the inside and crown out.
Studs -- common wall framing member the member that goes from bottom to top plate in one continues length. Non Bearing Wall- Minimum 2x3 framing material. If floor space needs to be saved you can frame 2x4 the flat way only in...

...htly brown. Exterior products -- dense glass -- have a silicon treated core with a fiberglass mate front and back, used in carports and soffets. Dense Shield -- moisture resistant, silicon treated core, fiberglass mates front and back mostly used in bath areas and can be used for walls, floors, ceilings, counter tops, and counter tops, and is used like dura rock or cement board.
Gypsum sheathing is applied between steel and brick. Wallboard is dry, economical, easy to apply, easy to finish with some experience, easy to maintain, easy to repair, noncombustible, and sound deadening.
Plywood Paneling -- 3/32, 3/16, ¼, 3/8, ½, 5/8 The less expensive the products the thinner the products. 4x8, 2x8, 4x10. Purpose in most cases for accent walls, to enlighten, eye appeal, chair rail, many different spices are used in these products to make many different types.
The ceiling was made of plasterboard and the walls were of Masonite coved with artificial leather.
Construction of external and internal load bearing masonry walls up to Damp Proof Course (DPC) level.
-creates a strong surface and can be used as a thin layer for glazes or a thick layers for impasto
Brackets made of monocrystalline alumina or monocrystalline sapphire got a clearer appearance while the polycrystallines are more tooth-colored. These are used as they have better aesthetics, physical strength and favorable optical properties. Being non-porous, they also are more resistant to absorbing odors and

Before continuing much farther, there are a few terms needing defined. First and foremost are the two main forces that act upon the boomilever, tension and compression. Tension is the force acting upon the side of the boomilever that is being “pulled” away from the wall, or the top side. On the other end of the spectrum is compression, which is the force acting on the side of the boomilever being pushed toward the wall, or the bottom of the device. Generally, compression is the main concern in building. Boomilevers are most commonly built as right triangles, in order for them to withstand the most force. Naturally this creates a hypotenuse, and also helps to define the device. If the tension member is the hypotenuse, then the device is known as a “tension boomilever.” In contrast, if the compression member is the hypotenuse then it is known as a “compression boomilever.” When the testing of the boomilever begins, a weight is put on the side farthest away from the base, or the distal end. This ...
The official starting point of the wall begins with the Qin and travels from the xin, han, tang ,sui, jin, yuan, ming, shun, and to the Qing dynasty. The wall was built starting with the Qin over existing defensible barriers and as generations went on the wall would be improved upon, extended, and restored. The first line of defense is the wall itself essentially a dividing barrier the wall prevented quick movement from side to side but gave soldiers on the wall faster response time it acted as a large flat roadway. The second defensive capability is the watchtower which was built in intervals stretching the height of the wall sometimes to forty feet high. These lookout stations had a primary goal which was to act as signal stations, where beacons, flags, and smoke was used tell other sections of oncoming danger quickly.
This insulation reduces heat transfer through the door so your building won't lose heat during the winter or let heat inside during the summer. These
are used as the integral components of the architectural design, this reflecting a conceptual cohesion that is missed in previous architecture.
I have conducted my research through interview with someone familiar with construction and development as how geometry is used in these fields.
Yet the general application of the wall has been used primarily to either wall something out, or to keep something walled in. The earliest walls were made with a human skill called stone masonry which is the skilled stacking of stones to form a cohesive structure. Walls as just a singular structure and not to be considered as part of an enclosed building with a roof, is a general subject that changes details from area to area. Walls the keep things in have generally been used as a way to border up local activities within a certain amount of space. Some more obvious examples of walls as barriers to keep things within the walls include; prisons, walled-in private communities, farm fences, and other examples where people want to maintain their own private space. Walls that can do the exact opposite of keeping substance inside are meant to be obstructions that keep other things outside from a space. National and private borders are an example of walling out unwanted factors. Security fences, walls as defensive locations, and walls simply placed for the sole purpose of obstruction are effective obstacles that humans have been building for centuries.
The usage of concrete was explored by the Early Christian and Roman architects but fell out of use throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance period. The material was only fully explored again in the later half of the 19th century but only for mundane purposes where the material was cheap, easy to work with, and versatile, but most importantly it’s fireproof characteristic. In 1870, the idea of reinforcing the concrete was born; steel rods were to be inserted to increase its strength. Taking this principle, Ernest Ransome (America) and Francois Hennebique (France) both developed frame systems. From this, open plan workspaces with large windows were created and it was proved to be well accommodated where fire had previously been a danger. Hennebique’s system used slim vertical posts, thin parallel beams on brackets and floor slabs; this resulted somewhat like a timber frame. Concrete was one of the most flexible materials and one with a least determining form. Concrete relied on its mould and the intelligence of its designer to give it aesthetic qualities for one to appreciate it. This became much more obvious when the architects of the last 19th century attempted to discover a style based on this material.
The framing process is probably the fastest part of building a house. A good framing crew can frame an average size house in just a couple of days. The framing of the house consists of the floor system, walls, and roof system. The framing is th...
Most people don’t know the difference from a hanging wall and footwall. A footwall is the underlying block of a fault having an inclined fault plane. And a hanging wall is the mass of rock overlying a mineral deposit in a mine. (add citation from the book)
