Column construction in a house after RCC roof is constructed
Column construction in a house after RCC roof is constructed
(OP)
Dear All,
I have already constructed the ground floor of my house and while constructing we left one of the center column given. Now while I am starting the construction of the first floor and second floor, the architect said that that column is ideally very important for the house.
Is there a way that we can construct that column now in the house.
Please let me know the detailed process and the way which does not impact the strength of RCC slab or Lenter. Also the monolithic structure is maintained of the slab.
What are the different alternatives I have.
Regards
Ashish

Most times, the damn architect does NOT want a column...and you have to go through 'structural gymnastics' to make the structure work.

Run cost comparison of cutting, digging and pouring the new spread footing vs. adding plies or switching materials of the beam.
