a structural wall that supports the weight of the building or a significant portion of it, transmitting the load to the foundation and other structural elements

What is a "load-bearing wall"?

A load-bearing wall is a wall that supports the weight of the structure above it, including floors and roofs. These walls are essential for maintaining the building's stability and strength. Unlike non-load-bearing walls, which are primarily for dividing spaces and do not carry significant weight, load-bearing walls must be carefully designed and constructed to ensure they can handle the loads placed upon them. Removing or altering a load-bearing wall without proper support can lead to structural failure, making it crucial to identify them during renovations or construction.
