Hi would someone please explain in plain english what the followIng means :178x102x30 ub binder on top of joists with ss straps fixed from each joist to wall plate rawl bolted to top of ub binder."???
A little drawing would be helpfull I know , but aint learned to do that yet. IE Does it mean a length of wood bolted to the top of the ub .?If so what size would it need to be and what are these straps and wallplate things for .I thought I could notch these extra strenghtening supports(bits of wood screwed and glued at 100mm centres on top of existing joists) and the extra joists at 200mm centres into the ub and that would be it . again a pic or a link for these strappy and wallplates things would be helpful .
