But yes, I would have wished for something narrower.

Which could have also been realized, for example, in the form of a prefabricated reinforced concrete column with corresponding parameters.

Which, for example, could also have been realized in the form of a prefabricated reinforced concrete column with the corresponding parameters.

Exactly, you can put an 8-story building on a 30x30 cm column, so it should also be able to carry a small single-family house platform. I just wanted to express that. But now the measurements have been taken, so it doesn't matter anymore.

Exactly, you can put an 8-story building on a 30x30 cm column, so it should also support a small single-family house roof. I just wanted to make that point. But now the die is cast, so it doesn’t matter anymore.

Is that so?

It is a reinforced concrete column, just not 30x30, because the structural engineer thought it had to be that way. He wouldn’t have risked his reputation with 50x30 cm.

He actually got quite agitated about 50x30 :-p and ran to the shell builder or said that it wouldn’t work.

Again, are you a structural engineer? Are you really that sure?

We are talking here after implementation, so it’s pointless. But no one should come to me with a layman’s opinion. We’re not talking about taste here but about necessary structural engineering.

is this good now??...you can discuss it via private message...such babbling here.

I understand the intention of an image thread to be that the subject should be a collection of images. But not in the sense of just posting pictures and keeping quiet, rather that discussion about what is depicted is also allowed. So that the core topic should be houses or construction sites, as opposed to floor plans or calculations. But if I just want to like pictures, I can do that on Fb&Co as well.

Are you a structural engineer again? That you're so sure?

even if I was not addressed: you don’t necessarily have to be a structural engineer for that (by the way, structural analysis is included in many engineering degrees in the form of technical mechanics, including calculation of such load-bearing structures). If reinforced concrete columns are sufficient for huge load-bearing capacities of high-rise buildings, industrial buildings, etc., then they will probably support the few tons of the intermediate ceiling. Because the upper floor exterior walls, the roof structure, etc. load on the ground floor exterior walls.

The problem here will not be the column, but the bearing surface for the beams on which the ceiling then rests. As I see, beams are being concreted here? There is a risk of shearing at the column if the bearing surface is too small.

One solution might have been a vertically standing, cast-in steel beam as an I profile (as a column) and on top of it a laid-on steel beam also as an I profile as a beam. The ceiling laid flush from right and left into the I profile, then it would even be an invisible beam. Steel construction is not everyone’s thing in classic single-family house construction and as you can see can also be avoided and manufactured more cheaply.
