VIII. Read the information given below and answer the following questions.

One can see different types of houses in our city: frameless houses and those with frames. This is a frameless large-panel house with three longitudinal

Constructive scheme of a large-panel house with longitudinal loadbearing walls

Fig. 2. Constructive scheme of a large-panel house with longitudinal loadbearing walls:

1 - external wall slab – наружная стеновая панель; 2 - floor slab – панель перекрытия;

3 - internal wall – внутренняя стена; 4 - a large-panel house – крупнопанельный дом;

5 - with longitudinal loadbearing wall – с продольной несущей стеной

loadbearing walls: two external walls and one internal wall. External walls of the house are made of precast concrete elements.

Partitions are made of gypsum-slag concrete. Reinforced concrete panels one-storey height are used for internal longitudinal loadbearing walls of the house.

Intermediate floors rest on external and internal walls. Such constructive scheme is used for public and industrial multistoried buildings.

transverse loadbearing wall; external wall; partition slab; floor slab.

панель перекрытия; перегородочная панель; поперечная несущая стена; наружная стеновая панель.

XI. Study the information and answer the questions.

This is a frameless large-panel house with transverse loadbearing walls.

All main elements of the house - transverse partitions, internal longitudinal walls and external walls - are loadbearing.

Floor slabs have supports from four sides.

Partitions and floor slabs are made of heavy concrete.
