I have been been running into so much trouble regarding taking down a wall and replacing with an RSJ.
The plans show my RSJ 254 x 102 x 28 UB grade s275 length 2.9m
or 152 x 152 x 30 UB grade s275
Both have been approved. the first was far to tall for us and would hang down a mile, so we got the shorter one drawn up.
Problem is he has specified 150mm thick padstones.
The UB was going to rest on the inner skin of the wall. however that only 100mm. We dont really want a part of the wall 50mm still remaining.
Do you think I could get away with 100mm padstone at one side? Or have it resting on the outer skin too, and put back 1/2 bricks to seal it in?
FYI the Mmax he calculated was 34.6 kNm
Cheers for the advice.
