load-bearing

the load-bearing walls are crucial for the house's structural integrity.

before removing any walls, check if they are load-bearing.

the bridge's load-bearing capacity was carefully calculated by engineers.

we need to assess the load-bearing strength of the timber beams.

the load-bearing columns support the entire roof structure.

ensure the floor joists are strong enough to handle the load-bearing weight.

the load-bearing steel beams provide significant structural support.

modifying load-bearing walls requires a structural engineer's approval.

the load-bearing foundation prevents the building from sinking.

carefully distribute the load-bearing weight across the support structure.

the load-bearing capacity of the new design was tested rigorously.
