Respected Sir,
I am from a hilly place called Darjeeling ,I have
constructed house of 9 column out of which 4 of the column
is under water , i have put rcc slab on top and on top of
the rcc slab i have construced two room house with bricks
and light roof , now i am planning to change the light roof
with rcc slab for the two room, my main concern is will the
column under water will hold the load of the new rcc slab
coz it already 10 to 12 yrs old , i dont know what to do ,
can u advice me regarding this matter, weather to leave the
upper floor roof light or make it rcc slab.(If i put the
slab , it will require 45bags of cement and u calculate how
much of steel and sand and pebbles)
thanks
with regard
Anand

Darjeeling is under high danger earthquake zone.So light weight roofing is best for your house. Your columns in water also a big concern. Because how you constructed and what design parameter considered during construction also a great concern. It is advisable to consult with a structural engineer before it's modification. How ever you are advising to stay with light weight roof and ensure the earthquake safety bend like plinth bend, seal bend, lintel bend and roof beam with stable structure and foundation.
