Hi,
My structural engineer has specified 2PFC's to support the brick wall above where I am due to knock out.
I understand that I put the PFC so the top flange supports the wall above. However, I am not clear in how or if I need to bolt/join the two PFC's to each other to bridge the cavity (so, one PFC each side of the cavity), or if it's 2 PFC's bolted together each side of the cavity.
Ordinarily, I'd contact my structural engineer but he's on holiday for a few weeks
Appreciate any help that can be offered
