Man always has provided shelter for of his goods, work, recreational and spiritual activities. The shelter give protection from the elements, enclose space, and provide a suitable internal environment for the activities taking place within it. The shelter is formed by WALLS. The aim of the Handbook is to equip not only the students, future engineers and technicians, but all the operators in the Construction Industry with the necessary basic knowledge and skill over the field of building in order to identify problems concerning construction and give valuable solutions also using the most recent technology. There are many ways of obtaining a satisfactory construction in building, but whichever method is used they all are based upon the same basic principles and it is these which are learnt in the present Handbook. The construction industry has developed many specializations and the development of an interest in one field can be justified by an understanding of the reasons why, a particular process is performed. This interest, may result in a person becoming a life-long student. This Handbook proposes also a useful example of design application of internal bearing load wall.
