I have been tasked to design a 2.5metre high retaining wall.
Trick is that the client wants to use 600mm high X 600mm wide X 1500mm long sandstone blocks cut from the excavation they have carried out on site. These blocks will be laid onto solid rock foundation.
I have designed timber, concrete...
I am installing a timber beam to allow for the removal of a wall
The timber beam will support roof struts and hanging beams.
I need to cut the ends of the new beam at the supports to suit the roof pitch so I can physically fit the beam in
What are the rules as to how much of the end of the beam...
