LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE The load bearing masonry Structure are constructed with help of brick , concrete bricks etc. Load bearing Structure transfer the load to Foundation in this way, Slab -> Wall -> Foundation. This is the path of transferred load to Foundation. The Foundation of Load bearing Structure are made with Rubble Masonry or With Stone which bear all load coming from the Wall.
We can see here the main element is The wall which is ctually load carrying member too. And !roblem is also that When t"e wall colla#se in any situation then whole structure will colla#se. To make load bearing Structure more stronger then we have to increase the wall thickness but it's reduce the oom area. •

The other answers are well e!plained the facts and figures, here are something addition to those answers) A load load** bearing bearing wall wall or bearing or bearing wall wall is a wall that bears a load load resting resting upon it by conducting its weight to a foundation structure structure.. The materials most often used to construct load load** bearing bearing walls walls in large buildings b uildings are concrete, block, or brick.

A load*bearing structure structure is any structure in in which wall which wallss bear all loads resting upon it by conducting its weight and ultimately transfer the loads to ground through its foundation foundation.. (ormally used in low height structures which involves less overall load as a whole resting upon its walls. The materials most often used to construct load*bearing walls brick or concrete blocks. epending on the type of building and the number of floors, thickness of the load*bearing walls are decided. -n the other hand framed structure involves a basic skeleton made of concrete or steel members which transfers all the load resting on it to the ground. Framed structure is largely used in high rise and comple! structures where dead load and live load is likely to be #uite high for a load bearing wall to carry. ope this helps. 1 0 . 9 kVi e ws·Vi ewUpvot es Upv ot e5Downvot e Comment S ha r e

The cost of framed structure is e!pensive than load bearing structure, since in load bearning the main component is brickwork but in framed structure is concreting. 1 . 3 kVi e ws·Vi ewUpvot es·An s we rr e qu es t e db y Shabb i rSai f uddi n Upv ot e1Downvot e

The ma2or difference between the two structures is the strength element. Thus) in frame structures, the strength elements are the pillars and the girders • in loadbearing masonry structures, the strength elements are the walls, while the tie*columns in the masonry have the role of absorbing some of the seismic force •
3ore precisely, in the case of loadbearing masonry structures, it is the bricks that carry the loads. This is the reason why ode $144*156447 8the omanian seismic design regulation9 re#uires that the standardised compressive strength of the masonry elements for loadbearing walls to be at least :.; (5mm6. The higher the compressive strength of masonry elements, the higher the number of storeys a building can have. ope this helps)9)9

As their name tell, a load bearing structure bears loads loads and a frame structure serves serves as a frame for other non*load bearing bearing structures to attach to. A typical load bearing structure structure would be the beam and pillar pillar system, onto which a frame structure structure 8the stud system9 can be attached to form a wall and a frame to open a door in it. (either (either the sheets of of the wall nor the door bear any loads.

(ot wanting to believe their claims blindly, my professor gave me all their their technical brochures and asked asked me to work on the pro2ect of verifying their claims. % worked on it for a few months and my conclusion, purely from academic considerations was that you could theoretically build up to to E storeys storeys but practical construction construction difficulties difficulties will limit this to 7 storeys. &ut the cost of these bricks was too high. 8% don't remember the comparative costs between these so called C"ngineering &ricksC and the ordinary bricks commonly in use. For this cost, a framed structure was stronger, and offered fle!ible floor plans which these new bricks could never offer. Their plans did not take off. To the best of my knowledge load bearing brick walls are being used even today for buildings at most two to three storeys tall and for greater heights columns inter*connected at all floor levels with load bearing beams and slabs are being used with non load bearing walls of brick or concrete masonry blocks. These walls are removable, offering architects the convenience of varying floor plans using internal partition walls. isclaimer) % have been out of of touch with the %ndustry %ndustry for a long time, Therefore my conclusion may not be fully correct today. + 6 . 3 kVi e ws·Vi ewUpvot es Upv ot e12Downvot e Comment S ha r e

%n simple terms, a load bearing b earing structure transfers its load to the foundations through the masonry walls while framed structure transfer its load to the foundation through columns and beams. The masonry wall isn't sub2ected to any load. As a result, the interior layout can fle!ible, can be changed any time. Walls can be thinner too increasing substantial carpet area. 1 3 . 7 kVi e ws·Vi ewUpvot es Upv ot e9Downvot e 1+ Commen t s S ha r e

Load bearing structure means that the load is supported by the wall, there is no column5beam to support the load. These walls must be strong enough for the purpose. /oad*bearing walls are one of the earliest forms of construction. sually the thickness of these walls is > inches or more. )n frame structures, there structures, there is a combination combination of beam and column to support the load. The load rests rests on the beam, the beam transfers the the load to the column, which which in turn transfer the the load to the foundation. foundation. Frame structures are the modern modern and safe way of designing large structures.
