Record Type: concept
piers (supporting elements) (<piers and pier components>, <supporting and resisting elements>, ... Components (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to relatively isolated, solid supports of masonry or another material designed to sustain vertical pressure, including a square or rectangular pillar or pilaster, the solid masonry between doors and windows, the pillars from which an arch springs, or the pillars or posts of a gate or door. A pier may also be a solid structure of masonry or ironwork supporting a telescope or other large instrument. It is sometimes distinguished from columns or posts by being more massive in size and often square or rectangular in cross section. For cylindrical uprights and for all uprights in steel and concrete frames, the term "columns (architectural elements)" is more often appropriate; for wooden uprights square in cross-section, "posts" may be more appropriate.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar relatief geïsoleerde, stevige dragende elementen van metselwerk of ander materiaal, ontworpen om verticale druk te dragen, waaronder een vierkante of rechthoekige pilaar of pilaster, het massieve metselwerk tussen deuren en ramen, de pilaren waarop een boog rust of de pilaren of stijlen van een poort of deur. Een pijler kan ook een massieve structuur van metselwerk of ijzerwerk zijn die een telescoop of een ander groot instrument ondersteunt. Worden soms onderscheiden van zuilen of palen doordat ze massiever zijn en vaak vierkant of rechthoekig in dwarsdoorsnede. Gebruik 'zuilen (bouwelementen)' voor cilindervormige stutten en voor alle stutten in staal- en betonconstructies; gebruik 'palen' voor houten stutten die vierkant zijn in dwarsdoorsnede. 
German ..... Bezieht sich auf eine relativ alleinstehende, stabile Stütze aus Mauerwerk oder einem anderen Material, die vertikalen Druck aushalten soll, wie ein quadratischer oder rechteckiger Pfeiler oder Pilaster, ein massives Mauerwerk zwischen Türen und Fenstern, ein Pfeiler, aus dem ein Bogen hervorgeht, oder ein Pfeiler oder Pfosten eines Tores oder einer Tür. Ein Pfeiler kann auch aus einem massiven Bauwerk aus Mauerwerk oder Eisen bestehen, das ein Fernrohr oder ein anderes großes Instrument trägt. Er unterscheidet sich manchmal von Säulen oder Pfosten dadurch, dass er größer ist und oft einen quadratischen oder rechteckigen Querschnitt hat. Für runde Ständer und für alle Pfosten in Stahl- und Betonrahmen ist der Begriff "Säule (architektonisches Elemente)" angemessener; für einen hölzernen Ständer mit quadratischem Querschnitt kann der Begriff "Pfosten" angemessener sein.
