Hello.
I have floor joists for the upper floor with cc 600. The floor consists of 45x220. Span about 8 meters. Attached with double angle irons to the wall plate. In the middle, the beams rest on a heart wall in lightweight concrete. Do you think it's necessary to attach the beams to the heart wall, or is it enough to attach them to the wall plate along the side of the house?

Not so darn easy to secure firmly in a lightweight concrete wall. Admittedly, it is 20 cm thick, but the lightweight concrete is quite porous....
Facade anchor might be usable in some way or are there better suggestions?
