Hello everyone,
I have read in our structural analysis that the walls on the upper floor are only allowed to be erected once the ceiling below has been shuttered, so that a deflection of the ceiling is possible. This has not happened. A wall (directly next to the stairs) was erected one day after pouring the ceiling above the ground floor. Although there are still supports underneath, I am afraid that when they are removed, the wall will go out of plumb due to the deflection of the ceiling. At this point, the ceiling is also cantilevered and no longer rests on supports.
My site manager has now tried to reassure me and said that this is not a problem at all. I think he does not want to order a crane – these are large precast concrete elements.
How would you react, what can you recommend? Would you insist that the wall be erected again?
I am also attaching a photo from which this will hopefully become clear.
