Dear skyscraper,
See the difference in experience and knowledge?
Don't know why it would need alot of reinforcement near the lift shaft,I think if it's an opening In the slab then u are certainly right but if the lift(elevator,you mean?) shaft is a core of Reinforced walls why would we need alot of reinforcement except for the common stresses Developed by the interaction between the wall and the slab,don't know what "differential Shortening is really and don't know alot about the requirements of high rise buildings design.
Unfortunately,In our college they courage us to use finite element.
Regards,
Husam
