Does this construction of "pillar" work for lintel?

[earlo]

I am going to build a deck between a retaining wall and the house and need to build a beam for a 2.4 m span for the joists to rest on. According to the dimensioning tool on byggbeskrivningar.se, posts of 95*95 would work. But as I want the "post" to be as wide as the retaining wall, I am wondering if the construction below can work just as well? It consists of three 95*45 joists.

Spontaneously, yes, without problem. If you attach them securely to the wall, their load-bearing capacity increases significantly.

Is it just a balcony on top? No problem at all.

No problem, for columns it is usually buckling that is critical. If the columns cannot buckle (i.e., they are fixed) they hold a lot...

This is how it turned out in the end, maybe I should attach the pillar with more than two flat irons per side?

That will do nicely.

Looks good!
