Hello,
I am in the process of tearing down some basement walls to create a larger room. I have had a structural engineer visit to check the load-bearing capacity and have received dimensions.
Since it was only "partially load-bearing" for the floor joists of the bedroom above, a post at each end of the stairwell sufficed.
To the question, how do I best attach the pillars to the ceiling and floor? The floor is tiled.
The pillars are glue-laminated timber 90x90.
See the attached picture, the beam to be relieved can be seen along the stairwell, the wall on the right will be demolished.
Thanks in advance!
