Hi, having a knockthrough gable end of house into extension, two 152x89 steels as specified by SE, supposed to have 150mm bearing but on side it is only 100 and slightly less in places due to uneven cutting of brick, im thinking this section of wall needs building back up with bricks cut to 150mm and padstone refitted? Picture attached

A steel beam hitting a wall perpendicular like that, can only ever have 100mm end bearing, unless it lands on a thicker wall.

The brick has been cut back to far so in theory if pad and bricks were taken out to floor and built back up cut at 150mm that would solve the issue?

It will have been calculated with a 100mm end bearing - so no need, no.

No it was calculated with a 150mm end bearing, getting the engineer to come out and look at it as unhappy about the integrity of both sides of the wall

What does the engineers' pad stone size indicate, for that steel end-bearing?

 

[Tiger82]

It's all a bit irrelevant now as have realised that I won't be able to get the walls flush the way it is now so working with structural enginner on goal post design each side so I can have plenty of room for dot and dab and plaster for a flush wall
