Dear All,
I would be grateful for any suggestions for the above. Would 'closure shell' work? (a shot in the dark).
Here is some context:
Le percement est réalisé avec des linteaux béton surdimensionnés, qui s’appuient sur des *voiles de fermeture* du mur mis à vif par l’ouverture.
Background: Carlo Scarpa (architect) and his work on the Castelvecchio Museum
Previous paragraph:
En sortant au deuxième étage de la Torre del Mastio sur un espace extérieur, il s’agit de traverser la muraille en descendant un escalier et de rejoindre l’espace recomposé pour la mise en valeur de la statue de Cangrande.
Cette structure extérieure est entièrement réalisée en béton.
Thank you.
Sara

Selected
perpendicular shear wall
It's impossible to know what they mean without further info., a picture of the animal, etc., but I'm tempted to think that it is a shear wall (one resisting shear or cisaillement not only by being suitably reinforced but also by being perpendicular to the wall that has been partially demolished.
A wall will be weakened if an opening is made in it, so it would stand to reason that two shear walls would not only tidy up the opening and, together with the heavy-duty lintel, make it nicely square or rectangular, but would also improve its structural integrity.
Of course they need not be perpendicular to the main wall to achieve this, but their effect would be greater if they were.
Fermeture in this context would refer to making the ends of the existing wall, where the opening has been made, neat and tidy. This could be done with the thickness of each new perpendicular shear wall. The shear walls need not be of any great length, and be something akin to a buttress, not necessarily any longer than the lintel is broad.
But as I say, this is guesswork.

wall closure profile
More of a wall closure profile than a shell (Ernst).
Example sentence:
Wall closure settings. You can define the wall closure profiles and component wrapping conditions at wall openings for inserts such as doors and windows.
