Replacement of awkward square or round columns with bearing walls, or wall-columns as thin as 6 in. or less, avoids undesirable protrusions into rooms and provides more usable space; 6 buildings in various countries illustrate use of concrete structural elements as end shear walls or wall-columns serving as major wind-resisting elements, loadbearing walls doubling as room partitions, thin columns around periphery matching interior partitions in thickness, and exposed concrete bearing walls acting as seismic-resisting elements.
