Industry:Construction
A masonry wall containing less than the minimum amounts of reinforcement as defined for masonry (RM) walls. An unreinforced wall is assumed to resist gravity and lateral loads solely through resistance of the masonry materials.
Industry:Construction
Maximum possible foundation load or stress (strength); increase in deformation or strain results in no increase in load or stress.
Industry:Construction
A wall that is oriented transverse to the in-plane shear walls, and resists lateral forces applied normal to its plane. Also known as an out-of-plane wall.
Industry:Construction
Lumber of nominal five or more inches in smaller cross-section dimension.
