Opening in exterior wall

[Derbyboy]

Understand...

Can I use franska skruvar instead?

I.e., no problem deviating from the building permit on that point?

 

[justusandersson]

The choice of screws is not covered by any building permit. I don't know offhand what WTS 3.6 has for load-bearing values, but I find it hard to believe they would be higher than an M10x120, for example.

It's getting closer

When I cast the footing for the pillars, can I mix expanding concrete and regular concrete? So first I cast the majority with regular concrete and then just do the final undercasting with expanding concrete?

I haven't really followed the thread like the others, so I might not be completely up to speed with what you're doing. But that's generally how it's done, yes.
The main foundation is cast in concrete, and then the pillar is underpoured at a later time with expanding concrete.

Thanks everyone! Especially to Justus and Bosse

The beam is in place!

There is a steel pillar in the middle.

Nice

Update.

The window section will be delivered on Monday.

It's a schuco ASE 80 Hi measuring 5920x 2090mm with two sliding windows.

 

[justusandersson]

How exciting! Imagine how long it has taken.

 

[Derbyboy]

I am satisfied!

 

[Derbyboy]

Many thanks to everyone who contributed with knowledge and ideas.

Without you, it probably wouldn't have happened.

You should be pleased with that! Nicely done, can I ask what the batch cost?

 

[Derbyboy]

They have now calculated on 90x315 but then the shear value (?) is too high. However, the deflection is perfect.

@justusandersson! Can you, based on this image, say how many mm deflection the beam has at full snow load? I'm trying to figure out if I can build a canopy.

Thank you so much!

 

[justusandersson]

Do you think I'm an oracle? Both @bossespecial and I have probably calculated it once, but it's not something I remember. You need all relevant measurements and data if you're going to calculate the deflection. But since it's a sensitive application with a beam over sliding windows, I don't think you should put more load on the wall. It's better if you make a canopy that stands on four legs. It can also become more elegant.

 

[Derbyboy]

I don't think, I know that you are an oracle but I understand and I agree.

I thought like this:

I probably can't get a building permit for a large canopy 25 m2+, so I’ll just build a small one (6-8 m2) until the building rights are extended (about 5-10 years) and then maybe I can hang it over the sliding door section.

To make it look nice, I mean that the rear support beam including the rafters needs to be recessed into the roof truss.

I need at least something small because the sliding door section lets in a little water in the lower track
