not supporting wall and regs

[Rick888]

so following on from my supporting wall thread it turns out its not supporting but it needs a beam to stop any bounce in the upstair floor,

do i need to notify building control?

 

[^woody^]

Then it's supporting surely

 

[Rick888]

no its a big span but says it would be better with a beam

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

It either needs a beam or it doesn't.

 

[^woody^]

If that floor does not bounce with the wall in place, but bounces without the wall in place, then the wall is supporting the floor pure and simple.

 

[Rick888]

i wouldnt know until the wall is out then

 

[Rick888]

its 5.3m span

 

[tony1851]

Then on that span it's a trampoline.

 

[Rick888]

ha ha yeah hence the steel,

Well that was fun.

"Already?" said Florence.
