Basement wall detail. ( l = 80.25).

This Architectural Drawing is AutoCAD 2d drawing of Basement wall detail. ( l = 80.25). The most common way to cover concrete walls in a basement is drywall, a.k.a. sheetrock. Drywall comes in panels panels made from calcium sulfate dihydrate or “gypsum.” Panels come in different thicknesses and sizes, the most common being 4′ x 8′ x 1/2″ thick. 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 structurally designed as retaining walls to overcome the lateral pressure of outside filling of soil/earth.
