What is Load-Bearing Wall Construction Overview about?

Load-bearing walls are walls that bear and transfer loads from above to the foundation below. They are commonly made of concrete, brick, or blocks and their thickness depends on the building size and number of stories. Load-bearing walls work by distributing weight through wall sills and base plates into the foundation. Cavity walls combine load-bearing walls with an air space between two layers of masonry joined by ties.
