Concrete masonry walls
provide
benefits such as structural integrity, fire resistance, thermal insulation and mass, low maintenance, and an aesthetic versatility unmatched by any other single building material. Structurally, concrete masonry walls for warehouses, foundations, loadbearing walls, retaining walls, etc. Can carry vertical loads as well as lateral loads imposed by wind, soil, or earthquakes.
Where these loads are high or walls are especially tall, the use of pilasters may be advantageous to allow thinner wall sections. A pilaster is a strengthened section that is designed to provide lateral stability to the masonry wall. Pilasters can be the same thickness as the wall but most often project beyond one or both wall faces.
