here's a sketch of the beam's location and the dimensions. i apologize if the sketch isn't much help, since i'm new at this.
right now i'm leaning towards making a new column to support the beam, since i don't know if the existing column was designed to carry the load of the new beam...
unfortunately, yes, it has to be a RC beam. what if the column is too narrow to develop the Fu of the bars by using epoxy? is there any other way to connect the beam to the column?
i'm currentls working on a project where we need to put a new beam to connect to an existing column. what are the ways to place a new RC beam to an existing RC column?
