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 the definition of PT Beam?
The bottom 12" of the beam is in the slab and the top 12" is an upturn, so it does make sense from a constructability standpoint.

Why and for what are anchors use for ships and boats?
The anchor prevents a ship from drifting away due to the water currents or tide. A popular misconception is that the anchor itself acts as the main weight to "secure" the ship in its position. On an anchoring run, the ship would lay the anchor together with a length of its iron cables on the seabed. The length to be released would depend on factors such as the depth of the water etc. So it is not the weight of the anchor, but the weight of the huge iron cables connected to the anchor that "secures" the ship. The anchor's weight does play a role, but it is mainly used to grip or hook the iron cables to the seabed. A ship properly anchored would be held to a circular area, the radius defined by the length of the cable released. Also, occasionally, with strong currents, the ship could "drag anchor."
