Descriptor : Type of additional sheath (OW/SW)

Descriptor type : categorical

Additional sheath: Second part of a wall composed by two zones (carcass + sheath).

OW: Outer wall.

SW: Single wall.


Microporous sheath

Microporous sheath: Thin skeletal plate supported by carcass and pierced by micropores (lesser diameter than pores).

Mesh

Mesh: Network composed by a layer of vertical elements linked or not by horizontal skeletal element.

Sieve formed by protrusions

Sieve: Aditional sheath stemmed from pores subdivisions.

Subdivided pore: Pores irregularly divided by radial protrusions of lintels.

Protrusion: Rod divided pores.

Lintel: Skeletal structure separating and bounding adjacent pores.
