DEFINATION

 Wall is a structure defining an exact area and

providing safety & shelter.
 Wall fulfills the function of privacy, security and
protection against natural factors.
Wall Types In Construction

 Load Bearing Walls

 Non Load Bearing Walls
LOAD BEARING WALLS

 A load-bearing wall or bearing wall is a wall that is an

active structural element of a building, that is, it bears
the weight of the elements above said wall, resting upon it by
conducting its weight to a foundation structure.
TYPES OF L.B WALLS

 Precast Concrete Wall

 Retaining Wall
 Masonry Wall
 Engineering Brick Wall
 Stone Wall 
TYPES OF L.B WALLS
TYPES OF L.B WALLS
NON L.B WALLS

 A wall which doesn’t help the structure to stand up and holds up

only itself is known as a non-load bearing wall.
 It doesn’t support floor roof loads above.
 It is a framed structure.
 Most of the time, They are interior walls whose purpose is to
divide the structure into rooms.
 They are built lighter.
 One can remove any non-load bearing walls without
endangering the safety of the building.
TYPES OF NON L.B WALLS

 Façade walls :
These are the walls
constructed only for the purpose of beauty
and aesthetics.
 Brick walls:
Simple walls constructed from
bricks.
TYPES OF NON L.B WALLS
OTHER CATEGORY OF WALLS

 Cavity Walls
 Partition Walls
CAVITY WALLS

 A cavity wall has two separate walls constructed

with a gap in between the two walls.
 The two leaves of cavity walls can be of equal
thickness if it is non load bearing wall.
CHARACTERISITCS

 The cavity is normally between 5cm to 10cm.

 Cavity walls give good sound property.
 It gives better internal insulation.
 Maintains the inner temperature.
 Prevents transmission of dampness to the inner
walls.
PARTITION WALLS

 Divide the space into parts.

 Non load bearing walls.
 Foldable or fixed
 Mostly used for privacy and partition as the name suggests.
TYPES OF PARTITION WALLS

 Clay or Hollow Brick Partition Walls.

 Brick Partition Walls.
 Concrete Partition Walls.
 Glass Partition Walls.
 Wood Partition Walls.
