New Stair Opening in Exist. 8" RC Slab
New Stair Opening in Exist. 8" RC Slab
(OP)
Folks, there is an opening to be done in multistory residential RC building. Please see attached sketch. The opening is a stair opening to connect two apt. to create a duplex. It's a multistory residential building, 60-70 years old... As per sketch, the opening is considered close to RC column (30 x 6 per old structural plans). There is a reinforcement proposed as per sketch..(hopefully legible enough) What do you think about the way of reinforcing it like that? Also, how would you temporarily shore the slab ? Dead Load is much higher than LL since it's residential. Shouldn't DL be spread over 2-3 floors..? Thank you for all thoughts.

What are the existing loads? What are the new loads? What is the existing reinforcing? Have you checked flexure? Shear? Punching? Development of cut bars? Deflection?
