Fist image, padstones should be flat, and maybe a single padstone the size of those two individuals. Also looks like there's been some... -
tony1851 replied to the thread Cracks under Steel Beam.That would not necessarily be a negative - I have a few builder friends. Friend or not, the onus will be on the engineer to get it right...

tony1851 replied to the thread Cracks under Steel Beam.There may be two problems here. One is that the builder may have used incorrectly-sized padstones. You will only know of this if you...

That joint detail doesn't make a lot of sense to me: they say they need the beam depth but then put the bottom bolts way higher than...

tony1851 replied to the thread 6.5m Goal post RSJ.Re the wind loading: IMO their calculation, such as it is, is too simplistic. Its more realistic to consider the whole of the side of...

tony1851 replied to the thread 6.5m Goal post RSJ.I agree that a suitably-stiff joint is the key to 'spreading out' the bending moment between the beam and columns so that they all work...

"The reason for such a big beam here is the fact that we have a goal-post frame here to provide proper global stability of the building...

tony1851 replied to the thread 6.5m Goal post RSJ.A 305 x 305 .......wow, just......wow! They could have done with the OP's engineer to oversee the Pfeizer building in Manhattan!

That is a massive beam. Given you have no buttress on the right hand side the whole thing is acting as a sway brace which means that the...

tony1851 replied to the thread Adding pillar support for RSJ.I think it would depend partly on the area - and hence the weight - of the roof the beam is carrying. The more slender a wall is, the...

tony1851 replied to the thread Floor Joists into steel.Might be easier with the 300 timber as it would then leave you with some timber below the level of the joists, making it easier to nail...
