See figure 1 here: http://www.jahnaconcrete.com/exterior.html Also, see various images here: https://www.google.es/search?q=tie columns&safe=off&source=l... |

columns Explanation: See posted references. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2017-04-02 22:54:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, Helena's posting is interesting and food for thought: http://wikidiff.com/pilaster/column In context|architecture|lang=en terms the difference between column and pilaster is that column is (architecture) a solid upright structure designed usually to support a larger structure above it, such as a roof or horizontal beam, but sometimes for decoration while pilaster is (architecture) a rectangular column that projects partially from the wall to which it attached; it gives the appearance of a support, but is only for decoration. As nouns the difference between column and pilaster is that column is (architecture) a solid upright structure designed usually to support a larger structure above it, such as a roof or horizontal beam, but sometimes for decoration while pilaster is (architecture) a rectangular column that projects partially from the wall to which it attached; it gives the appearance of a support, but is only for decoration. |

peer agreement (net): +1Pilasters Explanation: B: CONTORNOS AUXILIARES Tiene la misma función de un muro pero con espesor =0 esto generalmente se utiliza para dibujar columnas o mocheta sobre muros ya dibujados. http://www.lepton.com.ar/diego/web_tutoriales/005_manejo_foc... https://www.google.com.gt/search?q=mocheta vertical + constr... Masonry pilaster wall consist of pilaster, which is rectangular projectile column constructed of masonry blocks in the face of the wall and provide extra strength to the wall, filler wall, and foundation. The pilaster is cantilevered up from the foundation and built at determine interval along the wall length. Filler is masonry units that spanned horizontally between pilasters. https://theconstructor.org/construction/masonry-pilaster-wal... Pilaster – While Ref 1 does not give an explicit definition of a pilaster, it does infer that a pilaster is built integrally with the wall. Ref 2 states that a pilaster is a column that is built integrally with a wall and interacts with the wall to resist an out-of-plane lateral load, it is called a pilaster. Pilasters maybe ‘flush’ (in the plane of the wall) or project out from the wall in one or both directions. http://howtoengineer.com/masonry-column-pier-pilaster/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2017-04-02 22:46:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Page 19: DRAWING #9 This is a drawing of how to make a mocheta (pilaster). http://www.pssurvival.com/PS/Bricks/How_To_Build_A_House_Of_... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2017-04-02 23:00:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- pilaster Definition A column built within a wall, usually projecting beyond the wall. http://www.dictionaryofconstruction.com/definition/pilaster.... While his definition is basically on point, it does gloss over some details that structural engineers tend to care about. As he noted, a pier is can generally be thought of as type of foundation or a “short” column. And a column is an isolated vertical member, which general support vertical, axial loads but can support lateral loads as well. And a pilaster is generally considered similar to a column except that it will NOT be isolated (i.e. As Bill noted, it is integral with the wall). http://seaint.blogspot.com.es/2009/08/re-wall-pier-pilaster-... |

| Reference Reference information: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:5c3etPC... Los elementos de confinamiento en la mampostería, bien sea de ladrillo o de block, se elaboran de concreto reforzado. Hay elementos de verticales localmente llamados “mochetas” (castillos o nervios en otros países) y hay elementos horizontales localmente llamados “soleras” (aunque no estén a nivel del suelo que es la etimología original – en otros sitios les llaman “dalas”). Las mochetas se colocan en los extremos de los muros, en las intersecciones entre muros y tradicionalmente en Guatemala, las mochetas se han colocado como elementos intermedios colocados a distancias que no suelen ser mayores que 2.50m lo que constituye una característica local importante. El acero de refuerzo de las mochetas, especialmente las de esquina y las que se encuentran en las intersecciones de muros, suele ser como mínimo 4 barras de acero No.3 para un nivel. Para dos niveles solían utilizarse 4 barras No. 4. Pero recientemente en el afán de poder construir más niveles, en la construcción empírica se utilizan frecuentemente 4 barras No 5 más dos barras menores. Los estribos se mantienen de 6 mm de diámetro, lisos, con una separación máxima de 20/25 centímetros. https://www.eeri.org/cohost/Special-Earthquake-Reports/M7.4_... Confined masonry construction in Guatemala consists of masonry walls (made mainly with concrete blocks units) and reinforced concrete confining elements consisting of horizontal beams (soleras) and **vertical columns (mochetas)**. The vertical elements are usually placed at the ends of the walls, at the intersections between walls and at distances that are typically no longer than 2.50m (8.2 ft). The reinforcing steel in the “mochetas” is usually at least four No.3 steel bars (although it is quite common to see the No.3 bars replaced with No. 4 and No.5 bars at the corners and at the intersection of two or more walls). For confinement of the vertical elements stirrups made with 6.35 mm (.25 in) diameter bars are used with a maximum separation of 20/25 cm (8/10 in). The horizontal elements are usually placed at ground level, at slab level and it is also customary to place an intermediate one between the floor and slab levels. The typical reinforcement for “soleras” is 4-No. 3 bars with stirrups made with 6.35 mm (.25 in) diameter bars with a maximum separation of 20/25 cm (8/10 in). Mochetas and soleras are also placed around doorways and windows. The wall footings usually are made of reinforced concrete and the mortar paste that is most often used is a mixture of water, lime, cement and sand.

| Reference: Construction in Guatemala Reference information: "World Housing Encyclopedia A Resource on Construction in Earthquake Regions [...] Building Type: Confined Masonry Building with Concrete blocks, tie-columns and beams [...] Buildings of this construction type can be found in throughout Guatemala (see Figure 1). This type of housing construction is commonly found in both rural and urban areas. [...] Foundation-Wall Connection Vertical load-bearing elements (columns, walls) are attached to the foundations; concrete columns and walls are doweled into the foundation." http://db.world-housing.net/building/161/ |
