3. Introduction WALL Vertical structure Solid Defines an area
Delineates a building
Types of walls:
Load-bearing wall: supports the weight of floors and roofs
Non-bearing wall: supports its own weight

4. Load-bearing wall WALL
Walls carry the structural weight
Exterior walls
support the roof
Front and back walls bearing walls
The load-bearing wall of masonry is thickened in proportion to the forces it has to resist

5. Load-bearing wall WALL
Its thickness can often be reduced at the top
thickened either along the whole length
resist lateral forces
Buttressing
Doors and windows weaken the resistance of the wall
thickened in proportion to the width of the opening
vertical masses of wall transfer loads directly to the ground

6. Load-bearing wall WALL
strength of the masonry and the stresses in the wall
Number of openings
Walls in light
wood-framed structures
reinforced-concrete
The nature of the material admits other means of resisting forces than the increase of mass.

7. Load-bearing wall WALL
Placement of walls
the type of support for floors and roofs
beam
which must be jointed to walls at both ends

8. Non bearing wall WALL
Is a wall construction that only has the purpose of supporting the weight of itself
It must be braced to resist minimum 5 psf lateral loads

9. Non bearing wall WALL
Appears only when loads are carried
other members as in heavy timber and other skeletal structures
Traditional materials are often used light walls of glass, plastic, metal alloys, wood products, etc.
can be equally efficient

10. Difference: Non bearing and Load-bearing Wall
Bearing wall will have a difference purpose that relates to the structure of the building
A bearing wall could be put in place to help uphold the ceiling
A non bearing wall is interior and supports nothing to do with the structure
It simply divides an area

11. Is a Non-bearing-Wall Easy to Build? WALL
A non bearing wall is actually relatively easy to build. All that is required is a simple on-center frame structure and some drywall.

12. Conclusion WALL
Load bearing walls must be capable to carry the load of "live" loads that are anticipated to be placed upon the system without deflection that can degrade or negatively impact structural integrity.
Non load bearing walls provide no structural support and may be interior or exterior walls.
Load bearing walls carry the load of the ceiling and roof structure to the foundation.
Non-load bearing walls carry their own weight.
