Common interior walls (backup walls) are cold-formed steel framed walls with water-resistant sheathing and concrete masonry
Example: Multiwythe masonry walls can take one of several forms: composite, noncomposite or veneer walls. The primary differences between these wall systems are in construction details and how applied loads are assumed to be carried and distributed through the loadbearing system.

brick courses
Conjunction
A course is a layer of the same unit running horizontally in a wall. It can also be defined as a continuous row of any masonry unit such as bricks, concrete masonry units (CMU), stone, shingles, tiles, etc. Coursed masonry construction arranges units in regular courses.
Example: Our brick coursing chart helps builders & brick layers calculate the number of bricks needed to achieve a particular height or width.

dovetail insert
Noun
a joint made by inserting tenon on one piece into mortise holes in the other.
Example: They do not dovetail with other bilateral efforts on demobilisation and army reconstruction.

gravity load
Noun
The gravitational loads are deterministic and depend on the mass distribution and instantaneous position of the structure, that is, the blade azimuth.
Example: Gravity loads are the vertical forces that act on a structure. The weight of the structure, human occupancy and snow are all types of loads that needs to have a complete load path to the ground.

hanging off (of)
Adverb
To be suspended from something: The ornaments hang off the chandelier.
Example: For this small corporate headquarters outside of Grand Rapids, Integrated Architecture developed a 100-foot-long
cantilever to lend the project presence from a nearby highway. The client also wanted to highlight its technical
expertise through an ambitiously designed and constructed building

horizontal mortar joints
Noun
In masonry, mortar joints are the spaces between bricks, concrete blocks, or glass blocks, that are filled with mortar or grout.
Example: Masonry cladding on steel or concrete framed structures is normally supported from a stainless steel support system, positioned above the horizontal movement joints.

laterally
Noun
of or relating to the side a lateral view
Example: The machine construction with its laterally open pipes and smooth surfaces permits easy, reliable, and speedy cleaning.

masonry ties
Noun
Masonry ties fit in the horizontal mortar joints and are attached to the backup wall or structure.
Example: Attach the masonry ties securely through the panels and into the steel or wood framing.

multi-story
Adjective
A multi-storey building has several floors at different levels above the ground.
Example: Large numbers of multi-story apartment complexes are appearing in the vicinity of subway stations and other public services and facilities.

supports
Adjective
In architectural structures, supports refer to the part of the structure which may help other parts to resist loads. Columns, walls, and foundations are the obvious support systems in an architectural structure.
Example: A structural support is a part of a building or structure that provides the necessary stiffness and strength in order to resist the internal forces (vertical forces of gravity and lateral forces due to wind and earthquakes) and guide them safely to the ground

tie (something) back to
Noun
a decorative strip of fabric or cord, typically used for holding an open curtain off to the side of the window.
Example: typically used for holding an open curtain off to the side of the window.

transfers
Adjective
Transfer beam is a horizontal structure that transfers heavy gravity loads from the above structural elements to the below structures. These are beam elements that are mainly employed in the design of high-rise building structures. They are designed to take up load more than what a normal beam is designed for
Example: The transfer beam can be explained by studying a real example of the 25 storey office building, 500 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The transfer beam provided at the ground floor is designed at a depth of 1.7m. These are supported by column spanning at a clear distance of 3.5m. If you check the fig.2, the ground floor front view is shown, that gives the idea about the transfer beam.

wedge anchor
Noun
A wedge anchor is a type of expansion anchor that's typically used to permanently anchor steel directly to solid concrete.
Example: What are wedge anchors used for?
A wedge anchor is a mechanical type expansion anchor that consists of four parts: the threaded anchor body, the expansion clip, a nut, and a washer. It is designed for use in solid concrete only.
