Due to architectural reason, the below column offset cannot be avoided. Can anyone please help me figure out how to analyze this?
1. What the connection is gonna be like since I cannot have dowel bars extended from bottom to top?
2. I have seen comps using the shared area only to check the compression. Is it necessary? I would expect the load transfer to the column below through the slab to its full area. What extra comps that I need to do here?

Thank you.

Unless you have a really thick slab, you cannot do it without overlap... In my case the transfer had to occur over a couple of floors... punching shear is an issue, but not one of the major ones...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
