Damage under padstone

[mikeey84]

We laid an rsj yesterday, and due to a miscalculation, we stitch drilled in the wrong place.

What should I fill these holes with?

For clarity, the pic shows the grey padstone at the top of the photo, and the rsj above it

Thanks woody. Useful advice

What do you think filling the holes will do in terms of regaining the original composite strength?

There is likely to be a fracture in the worst possible place. You need to remove the bricks and re-lay them properly tied in.

Fill the holes lol.

I was asking as I thought epoxy and threaded rods maybe suitable or similar.

Tbf I wasn't thinking of pinkgrip or mortar

And, additional info, the column the padstone is on is tied into the extension wall that runs perpendicular to the Rsjs, so even if it's now floating from the old wall, it's tied into another wall in affected by the drilling
