Masonry wall - wall is built of individual blocks of material (bricks, concrete blocks or stone), cemented together with some form of mortar.
Monolithic wall – wall is built of a material requiring some form of support or shuttering in the initial stages. e.g. traditional earth wall and modern concrete wall.
Frame wall – wall is constructed as a frame of relatively small members (timber or cold-steel sections), at close intervals, which, together with facing or sheathing on each side, form a complete system.
Membrane wall – wall is constructed as a sandwich of two thin skins or sheets of reinforced plastic, metal, plywood or other suitable material bonded to a core of foamed plastic or to internal ribs, to produce a relatively thin wall element of high strength and low weight.
