Load-bearing osteosynthesis

To sum up, Load bearing structures as such are way cheaper as compared to the framed structures. However, this is true only if the bricks used in load bearing structures have low prices as compared to concrete used in beam and column for framed structures, and depth of foundation is not more than 1.00 m to 1.2 m. When the structures are large and where you need flexibility in design i.e. you don’t want a wall over wall and when you have large span structures, R.C.C. framed structure is always favored, as load bearing structures have a lot of limitations.

In the load bearing structure, the wall itself is load-bearing. These load-bearing walls are usually built in masonry, but they can be of reinforced concrete too. Here the walls transmit the loads to the foundations.The main difference between load bearing structure and framed structure is their members who are responsible for bearing and transferring the load to the subsoil.

In load-bearing structure, load-bearing members are walls, while in a framed structure, load-bearing members are beams and columns.Listed below are the basic differences between load bearing structure and framed structure.

In a framed structure, a framework or ‘skeleton’ of beams and columns is used to carry different loads down the building to the foundations.  The framework is usually of steel or reinforced concrete, but in small (usually single-storey) structures, they may be of timber or even aluminium.

A combination of components connected together in such a way to serve a useful purpose is called structure. Structures can be approached in numerous models: solid, framed, shell, membrane, trusses, cables and arches, surface structure etc. These are mostly classified based on the geometry due to which these achieve strength to resist different types of loads.

It is the geometrical configuration of the structure that defines its load resisting capacities. Frames and walls are the most popular configurations used in modern day buildings. They are popularly known as framed and load bearing walls.

Load bearing structure is economical only if the bricks and stones are available easily and at a competitive price. In area, where clay for bricks is not available easily, the cost of the load bearing structure may shoot up or might not be very competitive as compared to the framed structure. The cost of a load bearing structure will also increase with increase in height, as the thickness of walls will be inflating.
