What is the definition of high load bearing?
"Load bearing" is a term used to describe any structure or support system designed to bear a load of some sort. "High load bearing," by definition, implies that the item will hold heavier weights and higher levels of stress.
What is load bearing wall?
A load bearing wall supports a structure or weight that is above it, transferring that weight to what is below the wall. Also - The most common, as easiest to identify is the exterior wall.
Define - No load bearing wall?
A wall bearing no load.
Load bearing and non load bearing wall?
LOAD BEARING WALLS Walls that must support the dead load of their own weight and the weight of subsequent bearing structural members placed upon them. In addition, load bearing walls must be capable to carry the load of "live" loads that are anticpated to be placed upon the the system without deflection that can degrade or negatively impact structural intergrity. NON LOAD BEARING 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. Non load bearing walls must be braced to resist minimum 5 psf lateral loads.
What is load bearing structure?
the ability of a structure simple or complex (bridge?) to maintain its entegrity without failure for a designed length of time when placed under stress. a gravel road that could handle cars but not semis. maximum weight to an object without failure.i

What is a non structural crack?
A crack that does not affect load bearing capacity of a structure
Is the roof of a home considered a load bearing structure?
Yes, the roof is a load bearing structure. Wind, rain and snow all apply loads to a roof. Snow loads can be very great in some portions of the country
How can you tell an interior load bearing wall?
Center of a structure is usually load bearing. Look in attic or basement to see where the support is.
What is the method to ascertain if wall is load bearing or non-load bearing?
Determine if it is supporting anything besides itself. Roof, second floor. You just have to look at the structure and figure it out.
What happens if you move a load bearing wall?
the load above it may be too heavy to support and the structure could collapse.
What are the functions of a column?
columns are vertical load bearing members of a structure. They provide support by carrying beams ( horizontal load bearing members ). The safe load for a column can be calculated by Euler's formula or Rankine's formula.
What is load bearing wall?
A load bearing wall supports a structure or weight that is above it, transferring that weight to what is below the wall. Also - The most common, as easiest to identify is the exterior wall.
What is the load bearing capacity of a safety life line?
500000tonnes
Define - No load bearing wall?
A wall bearing no load.
Is wooden cladding possible in a load bearin structure?
This question implies you are confusing two elements of a building. The exterior cladding, and the load bearing elements. Load bearing elements includes components such as beams, columns, girders, pilasters, slabs, and load bearing walls. As for walls, regardless what the load bearing structure is, you can pretty much clad the exterior face of the wall with anything you want - as long as the cladding is firmly attached to the structure (so as to not blow off in a wind gust, for example). So for example, suppose a new coffee shop is built with steel columns and beams - these components still need to be "clad". If you wanted to clad the building with wood, this is very possible. You would merely need to detail the wood cladding so it is somehow braced back to the steel structure (which is not difficult to do). As a side note, if you meant to ask whether or not wood cladding can be used as THE load bearing structure of a building - the answer would be NO.
What is a loading bearing structure?
The foundation of a building, the outside walls, usually the center wall of a house, any structure that is supporting weight from above. The outside wall of a building is not load bearing until the roof goes on.
