Hi All,
We have an issue that we are not sure how to address. The way the house lies on a slight slope means the rear steps down and we want to open up the back of the house to allow an open plan kitchen/diner/living room. The issue comes with the rear steel work, this opens the rear aspect of the house, but where the pitched roof joins the rear of the house there will be a void that we are not sure what to do with.
This is probably a really common and easy solution to this; wood stud below beam to infill, welded or bolted steel below main steel.
Please can anyone suggest the easiest and also the best solution to address this. We don't want to over engineer the steels to allow a bend to be introduced as the engineer as said this introduces complexity.
I have attached an image of the issue; red is the beam, blue is the void.
Many thanks
