Any structural engineer would tell you to put the strong boys above the beam level to support the weight above. That wall is completely unsupported when you remove the props to install the beam.

You will have to get a "Statische Berechnung" from the Statiker, to make Sure you have the right size beam, especially If ITS a load bearing wall, good luck with your project

Question, so you cut out the entire wall, no need to support the wall over , just chased it out and slotted the beam in, I'm no engineer but that seems like a lot of potential load from above with no support
@idontgiveaship2575 Жыл бұрын
Exactly, he put some support in when hammering the bricks out and then he takes all the support away 😂. Didn't need to put back the supports afterwards, could also use a couple of wedges between the beam and brickwork. Actually that would be even better because wedges put some pre tension on the steel beam. But still: brave to take the supports away just after he made a big hole in the wall.

@CarlsImprovements11 ай бұрын
the beams are there to have the wall not settle over time. if you do the opening without beams you will get big cracks above over time. usually for a very short time nothing happens. while chiseling i put the supports because of the vibration, i didnt want any bricks to get loose
@idontgiveaship25759 ай бұрын
@@CarlsImprovementsthat's not how it works. A wall is under a certain load, linear load also called. when a linear load is interrupted the load will spread to the remaining sections of the wall. This settling is not always noticable but can't be reversed.(you could push back with screw jacks or hydraulics but most likely cause some damage elsewhere) When we do a job like this(usually bigger beams under 3 or 4 floors) we put the beam infront of the props before we start demolition so we can leave the props in place when we put the beam in.

Are the brick used to support the steel beam strong engineering brick as it looks like you used soft bricks that can crack and crush?

thank you, well It took me like a week or so but I also had to film everything and I was by myself. wetting the concrete helps it to complete the chemical hardening process. the old Walls where try and hold out the the moisture quickly.
