Bearing wall? Old calculation and general construction

[konne]

Hello,

I have a concrete townhouse from the 50s and I'm wondering if one of the walls is load-bearing. I've received construction calculations but lack the relevant knowledge to interpret them.

If I understand correctly, there are floor joists between my exterior walls and none of the interior walls are load-bearing, but I thought it's good to be sure...

The walls I want to tear down are marked in red

and an excerpt from the construction calculation says the following


Grateful if someone could take a look.

Happy summer!

The floor structure above the ground floor spans between the apartment-separating walls. Your red-marked walls are therefore not involved in any form of load-bearing. The beams have dimensions of 6x10 inches, approximately 150x250 mm, so they are hefty pieces. This gives an acceptable deflection but slightly too much bounce compared to today's standards. But where is your concrete?

Okay, good to hear. Thank you very much!

Regarding the concrete, it is in the floor as we had to break it up to replace the drainage.

Then the wall between the apartments is brick + plaster.


But maybe it's wrong to say concrete house. Maybe you say stone house?

Thanks for the response anyway!

Stone houses are much better. Concrete houses evoke associations with the apartment buildings of the 60s and later decades.

Stone houses are much better. Concrete houses evoke associations with the multi-family houses of the 60s and later decades.

Let's go with that from now on
