ive just had my SE calc come through for taking out a cavity wall for an extension.
I’ve noticed on the internal UB, he put that I should put wood packers and joist hangers for the upstairs joists. But this is not the case as the joists run parallel with the beam.
My question is, the calcs say I need a mid span restraint between the two beams, is this the case if no joist connect onto the beam causing the beam to rotate?
The beams length is around 4.5m and the beams are 254x102Ub 22 and 28.
