Building Components

Building Components

Building Components is a subcategory which organizes key topics and dimensions needed for the design and understanding of a building. This category contains illustrations which depict building components and concepts rather than the building elements or features themselves. These components include overall information on key topics such as building roof shapes, ramps, stairs, structures, and corridors for all buildings. The following collections have been organized to better understand and browse buildings by components.

Newels | Stair Posts
Newels, or newel posts, are the substantial vertical posts used at the beginning, end, or turns of a staircase. They are structural elements that provide stability and support to the handrails, balusters, and the staircase itself. The term newel is often used interchangeably with stair post.

Building Foundations
Building foundations are the structural base that transfers the weight of a building to the ground. They provide stability, prevent settlement, and protect against external factors like moisture and temperature changes. A solid foundation depends on the soil type, building weight, and environment.

Masonry Walls
Masonry walls are made by stacking individual masonry units, such as bricks, stones, or concrete blocks, and binding them together with mortar. Masonry walls can be load-bearing, meaning they support the weight of the structure above them, or non-load-bearing.

Trusses
A truss is a structure that consists of a series of triangles connected together. The triangles are arranged in such a way that the forces acting on them are transferred to the ground in a safe and efficient manner. Trusses are used in a variety of applications, including bridges, roofs, and towers.

Concrete Beams & Joists
A concrete beam is a structural element that supports loads from floors, walls, and other beams. Concrete beams are made of concrete, which is strong in compression, and steel reinforcement, which is strong in tension. The steel reinforcement helps to resist the tensile forces that are created.

Steel Columns
Steel columns are vertical structural elements that transfer compressive loads from upper floors, roofs, or beams to the foundation or other supporting members below. They are made from steel, a strong and ductile material, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to dynamic forces.

Brick Bonds
Brick bonds are patterns in which bricks are laid to provide stability to a wall and to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the finished construction. There are several different brick bonds that are commonly used, including the running bond, the stack bond, the English bond, and the Flemish bond.

Door Handles - Flush
Flush Door Handles are the types of door handles that are recessed into a door and help users carry out a pulling action to open bypass doors. Flush Door Handles are named accordingly as they are designed and placed intentionally to be flush with the surface of the door allowing the doors to slide.

Steel Connections
Steel connections are used to join two or more steel members together to form a stable and secure structure. The most common types of steel connections are bolted connections, welded connections, and riveted connections. Today, most steel connections are made using welded connections.

Plywood Veneers
Plywood Veneers are the construction materials that are produced from engineered wood and are often favored for their ability to remain stronger and less prone to splitting than hardwood. Plywood Veneers are made from thin layers of wood that are glued together and have their wood grain rotated.

Steel Walls
Steel framed walls are a type of building construction that uses steel studs instead of wood studs. Steel studs are made of cold-formed steel, which is a type of steel that is rolled into thin sheets. Steel studs are strong and durable, and they can be used for walls that are safe and efficient.

Surface Mounted Doors
Surface mounted doors, also known as surface sliding doors or barn doors, are a versatile door solution that slide along a wall-mounted track, rather than disappearing into a pocket or swinging on hinges. The door hangs from rollers attached to a track mounted above the doorway.
