What do you mean by 'masonry beariing wall'. A wall can be made of masonry. The part of a building which is weight bearing, is the foundation. What do you mean by thick Iowl der. Masonry walls are usually 10 cm thick, because this was thought to be a very practical thickness if building brick walls about 2&1/2 Metre high. Any thinner, and it would be unstable and fall down. Foundations are made about 45 cm thick so as to distribute the load of the masonry wall evenly over a large area. This reduces the worry that the wall may sink or drop, and allow the walls to collapse .
