Two in one
[edit]This article combines two related, but distinctly different notions into one:
- a support in the sense of structural analysis and
- a commonsense architectural support element
Examples of #2 that do not neatly fit into #1 are, say, generic "wall" and "column". They frequently serve as "supports" in architecture, but are near-impossible to pin into the proposed "roller, pinned, fixed, hanger and simple support" framework. The latter is the structural sense is not even a "support", but a "member".
The solution offered in some languages is to split the article into two (numbers correspond to the items above):
I propose to do the same here. As-is, the article is hard to comprehend: it starts describing #2 before going in detail into #1. Викидим (talk) 16:40, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
