Hi,
Hoping someone can help decipher these calcs for me.
This is purely for the 'Beam Design' portions. Not the 'Chimney' stuff.
My query relates to the supporting the beam on the existing walls. Ive included the entire thing incase. But the chimney has been done.
I understand the padstones are to be 300x100.
Via email engineer said the following
So the padstone would sit entirely on the brickwork, 300mm across, 100mm deep. This would mean making good / replastering the other side of the wall once finished. As its only a single brick, so will go through this other side.
The pier end, should it sit entirely on the pier, or should it be pocketed into external brick work?
Its solid brick wall, no cavity. I understand the beam will be a thermal bridge if its in the external wall? But not sure it can sit on just the pier, even though thats tied into external wall. I think the padstone needs to be 300mm wide 100mm deep? Rather than fitted 100mm wide 300mm deep if that makes sense?
Ive tried to contact him, but no joy so far. These were done a few years ago, which is why the chimney is already done.
House is 1930s solid brick external walls. Brick internals, upper floor walls are literally built on top of the floorboards (original). Suspended timber floor downstairs, internal walls down to concrete.

Via email engineer said the following
- Beam to support wall to be 203x102x23.UB OR 152x152x23.UC (+300x100 padstones)
- 450 pier to remain at external wall bearing
