wall plate

HB50
horizontal timber member placed on top of a masonry or concrete wall to support timber framed construction
See Figure A.8; Figure A.18
The ‘bottom wall plate’ is generally placed on a foundation wall and timber studs or posts are housed into it. The ‘top wall plate’ performs the same function as a ‘top plate’ in timber framing and supports the roof and ceiling construction.
