6" CMU front and rear wall for an elevator shaft
(OP)
Due an existing conditions I need to do 6" CMU front and rear wall for an elevator shaft, knowing that both sides will be 8"CMU. Do you see any problem to do this? Somebody can help to see if the 6" front and back are feasible?
Thanks

1. Adjacent floors
2. Elevator vertical loads.
3. Elevator lateral loads.
4. Building lateral loads from wind and seismic (is the elevator shaft serving as part of the lateral resisting system?).

for Jae input
1- there are not loads for adjacent floor
2- We have cover the vertical ones. the travel distance is 12' and we have a two stories bulidng.
3- we are not concern for lateral loads in this case.
4- No, the elevator is independent of that.
Thanks again
