Hi all

I searched the thread but I couldn't find a similar subject.
How the RC beam to RC wall connection be detailed if the wall is spanning up the beam for several floors, while the beam is spanning from one column to the other column (passing the wall between the two columns)?
This concerns to the congestion of beams and walls re-bars in the region of the connection.

What the heck is that?

It's a section through beam and wall showing wall longitudinal re-bar and beam re-bars
 
Is there no slab here?

OP said:
If you can provide a sketch of your suggestion for the case stated in the first post. What one should do? Have you encountered such a problem?

I'm confused now. Do you want to discuss the other situation that I commented on in my first post. Or the situation that you posted in your sketch just now? They're different.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Join the club.

@ the OP: are you sure what you are asking about isn't a pilaster/a column built into a wall? You keep calling it a "beam".....but the sketches you have provided remind me more of a pilaster.

Sorry, I didn't draw the slab because the main concern was about detailing so that avoid the congestion in the region of the beam and wall rebar

Are there Elevator doors below the beam?

Good point. If there is a door below the beam, then possibly you can cut the wall re-bars because it is discontinued in the door location.
Suppose the door is in the direction perpendicular to the beam span length
