Interpret a drawing. Load-bearing wall?

[Ungochbortskämd]

I have tried to decipher this but remain uncertain.

What makes me uncertain is arm.

Surely it's the inner wall that's non-load-bearing, or am I completely off track?

Regards

I can't quite pinpoint the position of the wall, but some general things can be said. If it's a plank wall made of wood, it's not load-bearing. Load-bearing walls made of wood under a concrete floor do not occur. If it's a wooden stud wall, it was added later. If it's a brick wall (half-brick), it's probably not load-bearing. I can't find any such walls on the reinforcement drawings you've attached. All load-bearing walls are included in these drawings. The same can be said about the lättbetong walls.

It's a terribly elegant house. It reminds me of the service building on Nils Ericssonsgatan in Stockholm, but there are probably more like it. The mix of brick and lättbetong in the facade is unusual.

Thank you for your response!

The wall is not on the drawing. It is located right by the stairwell, in the picture you can see some boards covering.

What I was concerned about is that it looks like a reinforcement bar extends and crosses the wall, but it should be in the upper part of the slab.

I'll see when/if the board responds, I don't want it to go wrong, possibly bring someone in to take a look.

There is also bottom reinforcement. The top reinforcement is only over the thick wall nearby. Walls that are not included in the reinforcement drawing are non-load bearing (if the drawing has been followed, that is).

There is reinforcement at the bottom edge as well.

Isn't it that the bottom edge reinforcement is in my floor and the top edge reinforcement is in the neighbor's above me?

Walls not included in the reinforcement drawing are not load-bearing.

I hope they've followed it. What's a bit confusing is that all other interior walls are 10cm and this one is 13cm in thickness.

A lot of headache since it's an old house, but maybe that's part of the charm

No, both top and bottom reinforcement are in the same slab. The reinforcement exists to counteract the tensile forces that arise due to the internal moments. In the space between the supporting walls, these forces are greatest at the bottom of the slab, where it wants to bend downwards. Over the support, they are instead greatest at the top of the slab where the slab wants to bend upwards. The wall thickness mainly depends on the material used.

Thank you so much for your answers
