Can the load-bearing wall be removed?

How to distinguish load-bearing walls?

The best way to distinguish load-bearing walls is to look at architectural drawings, but sometimes there is no relevant information in hand. This situation is mainly distinguished by the thickness of the wall: the wall with a thickness of more than 240MM is a load-bearing wall. Some walls with indistinguishable thickness, such as external walls and walls used by neighbors, are also load-bearing walls. Generally speaking, the partition walls of brick-concrete houses are load-bearing walls except bathrooms and kitchens, and the internal partition walls of frame houses are generally not load-bearing walls.

Can the load-bearing wall be removed?

Generally speaking, load-bearing walls cannot be removed. And if you tear down the load-bearing wall, your neighbors have the right to sue you and ask you to restore it. So for the sake of safety, it is better not to tear down the load-bearing wall. Of course, there are also professional construction companies that can remove some load-bearing walls and then reinforce them by planting steel bars and sticking steel, but the construction can only be carried out with the consent of the property.

Can the load-bearing wall open the door

Aside from the legal constraints, from a purely technical point of view, of course, you can open the door, which is nothing more than doing the follow-up reinforcement work. Usually, the reinforcement method is bonded steel or carbon fiber, but this reinforcement scheme and demolition work must be completed by a qualified unit, and channel steel must be embedded when the material allows, and the door cannot be opened too wide. But it is recommended not to knock on the load-bearing wall, because neighbors have the right to sue you and ask you to recover.

Can the non-bearing wall be removed?

The traditional concept is that the load-bearing wall in the room can not be demolished, and the non-load-bearing wall can be demolished. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. In fact, not all non-bearing walls can be dismantled and modified at will. The so-called non-bearing wall refers to a house composed of reinforced concrete column array frame, in which the floor is supported by horizontal vertical array, the array is supported by columns and the columns are supported by foundation. This structure is usually visible indoors, and the walls between columns are mostly filled with hollow bricks or ordinary bricks. This kind of wall is generally a non-bearing wall.

Non-load-bearing wall is a secondary load-bearing component compared with load-bearing wall, but it is also an extremely important red palm of load-bearing wall. It must bear at least two parts of load, one part is the self-weight of the wall. Take a six-story house as an example, the non-bearing wall in the ground floor house should bear the weight of the five-story wall above; On the other hand, from the structural point of view, non-bearing walls are usually seismic walls in design. In other words, if there is an earthquake, these non-bearing walls will bear the earthquake force together with the bearing walls.

Can the non-bearing wall be removed?

So, as far as a family is concerned, tear down the non-bearing wall or open a hole.

The hole is not a big problem, but if the residents of the whole building arbitrarily split the right and wrong,

Load-bearing walls will greatly reduce the seismic capacity of buildings.

Can the non-bearing wall be removed?

Therefore, it is not a big problem for a family to tear down the non-bearing wall or make holes in the wall, but if the residents of the whole building tear down and change the non-bearing wall at will, the seismic capacity of the building will be greatly reduced.

Can the wall structure be changed at will?

The renovation of the wall in the decoration cannot damage the load-bearing wall. First of all, because the damage to the load-bearing wall is the damage to the seismic capacity of the building where it is located, according to Article 26 of the Regulations of the Ministry of Construction on the Management of Seismic Fortification of Building Construction Projects:

Can the wall structure be changed at will?

"Whoever, in violation of the provisions of this Ordinance, arbitrarily changes or destroys the seismic components, isolation devices, damping components or seismic response observation systems of buildings shall be ordered by the competent construction department of the local people's government at or above the county level to make corrections within a time limit, and be fined 1000 yuan for individuals and 1000 yuan for units, but not more than 30,000 yuan. Not only to recover, but also to be fined. In addition, there will be residential property management regulations in various places, and there will be provisions on load-bearing walls. For example, Article 41 of the Regulations on Residential Property Management in Shanghai stipulates: "If the load-bearing structure of a house is damaged in violation of the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 26 of these regulations, the district (county) real estate management department shall order it to immediately correct it and restore it to its original state, and may impose a fine of not less than 10,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, a fine of100000 yuan but not more than 200000 yuan may be imposed. According to this regulation, the damage of the load-bearing wall should not only be restored, but also be fined up to 200 thousand. Therefore, the load-bearing wall is absolutely untouchable.

Can the wall structure be changed at will?

Finally, the blogger will give you some advice: before decorating, you must find out which walls can be demolished and which can't, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable: non-load-bearing walls are generally indicated on the floor plan, and they are generally thin, roughly 10cm thick, and cannot be demolished: counterweight walls: generally, the walls below the balcony windows of old houses are all like this, and they must not be demolished; Load-bearing wall: This wall can neither be torn down nor a big hole can be made in it.
