Load on an edge element

Please ask the designer about the long-term load, as this often determines the "capacity" of the cell foam.

I have difficulty understanding why there is a concrete pillar in the facade of a lightweight concrete house?

Do you have any K-ritningar?

I understand where the column is located. However, I do not understand the choice of solution or the calculations that might be behind it. An HEA 320 beam can handle very large loads that I cannot imagine would be relevant here. Additionally, the span doesn't need to be 6 meters when there is a wall that can be utilized.

In that case, it is unfortunately difficult to give any advice. Doing as suggested may perhaps be the most appropriate since the load is applied centrally to the footing. What is the reason you want a different solution?

If you choose long spans for the beams, the column loads will follow accordingly. I miss a holistic approach here. Are the house supplier and foundation contractor different companies?

I'm feeling a bit slow tonight but the beam runs parallel to the wall between the living room and the bedroom, right? If so, it should be appropriate, as justus said, to use that wall as a pillar.

You can handle it without the extra casting. What you need to do is thicken certain parts of the slab. Assuming you have 300mm insulation, just remove 200mm and let the edge beams "continue" into the house. Like a Christmas tree stand..
