reinforced walls

Structurally bolstered partitions

Reinforced walls are walls strengthened with additional materials—typically steel bars, mesh, or concrete—to increase structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.

The term appears in construction and engineering contexts: The building code requires reinforced walls in earthquake zones.

In military and gaming contexts, reinforced walls resist explosives or breaching: They fortified the compound with reinforced walls.
