Can stair towers be built with on-wall beams?

I've seen it before in a project. Can stairs or elevator towers be built on wall beams? in this case, if it can be done, how is it modeled in idestatics?
 
Dear İzmirlimühendis, frankly, I did not fully understand your question. Elevator towers are formed by raising the appropriate columns or panels coming from below. An object used for masonry bonded buildings on a wall. Do you need a column or curtain on the roof floor where you can sit the elevator tower? Beam on the wall is a constructive element and does not transfer any load to the bottom. My advice is to have the vertical elements of the existing structure and structures such as the elevator tower move. Otherwise, there is no point in modeling a non-load-bearing element on a reinforced concrete structure.
 
THE DIMENSIONS OF THE STAIRWAY TOWER ARE APPROXIMATELY 4 METERS 5 METERS ON ONE SIDE OF THEM THERE IS A COLUMN ON THE OTHER SIDE, THERE IS NO COLUMN FROM THE BOTTOM WHAT CAN BE DONE IN THAT CASE.
 
You don't have to follow the architectural dimensions exactly. If you can use a column or curtain outside of these dimensions, use it. You absolutely have to sit on a vertical member. A masonry type structure resting on a beam on a reinforced concrete building is extremely inconvenient and causes cracks in the beams below.
