Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:
Summary 1: According to EFFICIENT STRUCTURE and FINAL COLUMN DISTRIBUTION, the wall is a compressive loadbearing membrane, "Stretched" between adjacent columns and continuous with them, the columns themselves placed at frequent intervals to act as stiffeners.
Summary 2: Build the wall as a membrane which connects the columns and door frames and windows frames and is, at least in part, continuous with them.
Summary 3: To build the wall, first put up an inner and an outer membrane, which can function as a finished surface; then pour the fill into the wall.
Summary 4: When walls are working like this, they are essentially structural membranes: they are continuous in two dimensions; together with stiffeners and columns they resist loads in compression; and they create a continuous rigid connection between columns, beams, and floors, both above and below, to help resist shear and bending.
Summary 5: By contrast, curtain walls and walls which are essentially "Infill," do not act as membranes.
Summary 6: The wall is built by fixing nailing blocks to the sides of columns..
