Steels

[Jet]

Hi could anyone tell me the best way to build over a a cavity.

Obviously the steels sit in the inside block work and I have to return the brickwork over the cavity and on to the steels.

Thanks

The steel will have a large foot welded to it, like a 12mm plate, this extends over the cavity and onto the outer brickwork.

As above 

I’ve just lifted this one in this morning 

Hit and miss welded plate to a box section that my mate had over in his yard

Thanks for replying but I don’t think I made myself clear.

I am building over a garage extension which will have a pitched roof. I am building above the garage about a metre in.

I have to put 2 steels in to take both leaves. Do I make the steels longer which would bridge the cavity as I have to return the brickwork 90 degrees.

Thanks

You'll need to post some pictures/drawings. 

 

You may need to get a structural engineer to do a quick design.
