<p>This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Basement wall detail. ( l = 31.00). Basement walls and design differ from other structural walls because in the basement inside of wall have living space and earth filling on the outside of wall i.e. why these are <strong>structurally designed as retaining walls to overcome the lateral pressure of outside filling of soil/earth</strong>. The solution is covering concrete with a <strong>vapor barrier</strong>, which acts like a resistant cell membrane instead. With a shield in place, the drywall is safe. Typically, a stud wall is then installed against the concrete, but furring strips are quick, easy and take up less space. For more details and information download the drawing file.</p>
