Teherhordó

Teherhordó is a Hungarian term that translates to "load-bearing" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of construction and engineering to describe structural elements that are designed to support and transfer loads from a building or structure to the foundation. These elements are critical for the stability and integrity of any construction project.

Examples of teherhordó elements include walls, beams, columns, and floors. A teherhordó fal (load-bearing wall), for instance, is a wall that carries the weight of the structure above it, such as floors and the roof. In contrast, a partition wall, which is not designed to bear significant structural loads, is not considered teherhordó. Similarly, teherhordó gerenda (load-bearing beam) supports the weight of a floor or roof and transfers it to columns or walls.

The design and construction of teherhordó elements require careful calculation and adherence to building codes to ensure they can safely withstand the intended loads, including dead loads (the weight of the structure itself) and live loads (temporary loads like people, furniture, or snow). The materials used for teherhordó components, such as concrete, steel, or masonry, are chosen based on their strength, durability, and ability to resist the forces they will encounter. Understanding the concept of teherhordó is fundamental to comprehending how buildings are constructed and maintained safely.
