Shoring or Reshoring ?
Statement is that several floors are
shored to distribute the load below.
i. { if floor above is partially cast,
load can be distributed
below/several floors. }

Shores and Reshores or backshores Rational Analysis Declaration
A rational analysis should be used to determine the number
of floors to be shored, reshored, or backshored and to
determine the loads transmitted to the floors, shores, and
reshores or backshores as a result of the construction
sequence.
Analysis to consider : Structural design load of the slab or member
including live load, partition loads, and other loads for which the
engineer of the permanent structure designed the slab. Where the
engineer included a reduced live load for the design of certain
members and allowances for construction loads, such values should
be shown on the structural plans and be taken into consideration
when performing this analysis;
