A vertical surface element. If it forms part of the structure it is called:
- A load-bearing wall: one of its functions is to support loads resting on any point of its length, working by compression, and acting as reinforcements, beams and pillars.
- A contention wall: to enclose land; although it may also be termed load-bearing in this case.
- A braced wall: when it fulfils the function of giving stability to the structure, absorbing horizontal loads.
