Great observations. Thank You for sharing.

For wind in one direction, you will have wind load on Windward side and Leeward side. After applying, the loads will get added. Like Umar said, see a textbook.

You need to look up AS5100.5 as general design approach is provided there. The concrete compressive block may lie within the insitu concrete slab, flanges or web. The composite Neutral Axis may lie above or within the void. Here is a demo software to get started: http://www.aces-systems.com/demo.html

What is the compensation package? Also,is there any probation period?

I googled... Might be this firm! M/s Professional Structural Engineering Consultant

Did you figure out a way to resolve the issue yet @Ahmed Waqar?

Thanks

Your question is not very clear. You should show framing and give overall picture.

Further Reading: Ubc-1997-Volume 2 (Wind Seismic Considerations).pdf

See the following post:

That makes no sense. You should consider it.

Your question is vague. Clarify your design condition and when you say higher, higher to what?

Google AISC 2005 Specifications. Once downloaded they have tons of examples of manual steel calculation.

Your wall vertical reinforcement will end where the door starts. It should be terminated as standard hooks. Where you will have door opening, your horizontal wall reinforcement that will interfere with door opening will also terminate as standard hook. You can provide vertical bars (like column reinforcement) around the doors. That should suffice.

Can you share what you have and I will mark it up? It would be pain to draw something from scratch.

Is the RCC wall a shear wall or load bearing wall?

Can you post your structural framing?

So whats the outcome from your company ? I don't see retrofitting viable here.

Please share the structural framing plan of the house that shows the location of beams/ walls and columns(if any). The load path is generally: Roof or Floor -> Beams or Walls -> Foundation. For masonry, lower story walls have more load the higher story for obvious reasons.

Knowing Autocad as an Engineer is an extra asset. You shouldn't be paying for the certification.

One of the worst Emergency Exits that I have seen. What company do you work for?

Concealed beam is not a beam. Formula for trapozial load distribution is based on the assumption that your beams are atleast three times as deep as your slabs(I dont remeber this correctly). Concealed beams may reduce deflection where they are provided but providing concealed beam doesnt divide your slab. Slab/beam depth ratio is important in dictating behaviour.

Stay with what code says..
