bearing and shear walls Explanation: I found this description similar to your Italian source where 6 walls/quinte are mentioned...maybe it will help but I'm not sure if it's the exact equivalent translation of the term...maybe an architect out there could tell you if they correspond! The main structure of the building is made up of six reinforced concrete bearing and shear walls, differently oriented and set back from the outer edge which is coated by curtain walls: continuous facade in glass and duralumin, separate from the structure, giving special lightness and allowing to see the modern open spaces inside. https://www.sterchelegroup.com/en/news/galfa-tower-rebirth-architectural-icon |
