Join date: Mar 2008 | Dear Sir,
The minimum thickness of load bearing wall is 9''.
Load Bearing WallsThe walls that support beams and roof slabs.
- These walls take the load of super structure and transmit it to the ground through foundation.
- These can also serve the purpose of dividing the space into required rooms etc.
- These are also accommodating door and windows where required.
- These are of 9” or more thickness.
- Such walls are made in first class bricks and rich mortar.
Non Load Bearing Walls
- These walls serve the purpose of dividing the space into required rooms etc.
- These are also accommodating door and windows where required.
- These can be made into thin sections to save the space.
- Non load bearing walls are only partition having no load of super
structure so these can be easily changed whenever required to change the
space of the room.
- These walls are made 3 inches, 4.5 inches and 9 inches thick as per the requirement of the site.
