What is it used for?
A masonry wall can support or only separate. Material, condition, openings and support determine how a wall is used in construction.
What needs to be coordinated?
With a new beam it must be determined whether the wall can absorb the local supporting forces. An overlay detail may require additional facilities.
- Load-bearing or non-load-bearing function
- Stone and mortar data
