brackets (structural elements) (<spanning and projecting structural elements>, structural elements, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to architectural elements, usually of generally triangular shape, that project from a wall, pier, or other structure and which serve to support vertical loads or strengthen an angle by transferring the load against the face of the structure from which they project; sometimes more decorative than functional. For support hardware, use "brackets (support hardware)." |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor elementen, meestal driehoekig van vorm, die uit een muur, pier of andere structuur steken en die dienen om een verticaal gewicht te ondersteunen of om een hoek te versterken door het gewicht te verdelen over het oppervlak van de structuur waaruit ze steken. Soms zijn ze meer decoratief dan functioneel. |
