Alternative options for a Lift/elevator in a building structure

[IRSHADQUR]

Dear All
I am designing a 10 story shear wall building structure. I have 2 lifts in the plan but i dont want to use rocking/core wall for that. I have seen some elevators with only columns and beams but could not find it. Can somebody refer me to some literature regarding these type of elevators which are made of beams, columns and some partitioning.
Regards

search for shaftwall. It has its limitations, and floor to floor height is a major one.

We have done a few low-rise hydraulic elevators with steel supports and gyp enclosures.

Call the elevator guys and see what they have done in the past. The elevator itself probably doesn't care if the shaft it's enclosed in is structural or not, as long as its tolerances are kept. There are many examples of atrium elevators clearly not part of a structural shaft.

Depending on floor to floor heights, intermediate lateral supports may be required for the elevator guide rails. This is frequently done with rectangular HSS spanning between floors in steel framed buildings. I agree with JLNJ, input from the elevator vendor is needed. Architect often detail the shaft walls using "CH" cold formed steel studs. The CH studs allow the shaft wall to be built from one side (rather than erecting scaffolding inside the shaft to gyp the inside).
