Hi
I want to knock 2 doorways through a load bearing wall. My engineer has advised me to use a small rsj sized 178 x 102 x 19 UB. With a 200mm bearing sitting on a padstone or engineering brick.
In the pictures you will see a padstone sitting on the top left of each doorway supporting a 6m rsj for the floor joists above.
Propping the 6m rsj above is easy as I have an identical rsj directly underneath for the floor joists below.
Is it acceptable to have rsj's for the doorway directly underneath the padstone for the 6m rsj above.
