Simplysimon Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 could anyone who has had an i beam construction wall please give me a detail for the soleplate to wall plate. i'm trying to figure out the best method to construct the wall as a a unit rather than stickbuild. jji shows two thicknesses of solid timber, one soleplate and one wallplate, touchwood shows i beam as wall/soleplate with infills. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) We have this and ours is 300mm FJI joist studs on top of two parallel sole plates of 75mm x 50 and 150 x 50 with 50mm x 75mm thick PU infill in the gap. Every so often the stud is fixed, via the web, to the concrete with a strong tie angle bracket in the PU trough which is fettled around the bracket. All on top of a DPC. PS this is as our SE detailed. Edited January 16, 2019 by MikeSharp01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Our sole plate is a single 300mm Steico I-beam which has OSB3 web strengtheners bonded underneath at intervals where the plate is bolted to the slab. The 300mm Steico I-beam studs are nailed to the sole plate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 thanks guys, were both these stick built or did the walls come in panels? @MikeSharp01 any pics? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a portal frame and each individual part of the frame was made in the factory and fitted to the sole plate on site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bissoejosh Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Ours is similar to @MikeSharp01 with twin parallel sole plates made of 45x95mm timber with insulation in-between. Only difference is the sole plates are concrete screwed into the block work below with a closed cell foam gasket beneath the timber and DPC. This was detailed by our frame engineer at my request as the original plan was a 300mmx45 glulam which seemed a fairly large cold bridge.

davidc Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Has any one else used I joists for the top header plate in a I joist build ? If possible I would like to forward my engineer some example drawings as I want to steer away from solid glulams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
