We have an older house from 1884 with a log frame and plaster on the inside. We are now planning to remove/replace a wall and I am wondering what you think about props and floor joists for the replacement.
I have had help calculating the laminated beam and received the options 90x450 or 115x405 based on below:
B1 is 480 cm from interior wall to interior wall (where the beam will be, so to speak), so add a few dm to get the outer dimensions.
B2 is 470 cm according to the same principle.
1) At first, I thought of only placing props on one side of the wall, but now I'm a bit unsure of how the upper floor "notches" into the log frame/wall that will be demolished. The question is whether I need to place props on both sides of the wall...? It requires a bit more planning but is doable. By sides, I mean along the entire wall and not the short sides, so to speak.
2) Are there any other requirements for the underlying floor beam when replacing, compared to the wall? From what I've seen so far, it looks pretty decent apart from someone having cut holes in the beam for radiator pipes... I estimate that, at worst, it is cut out to the maximum middle of the beam (or log, maybe one should say). Do you think any form of reinforcement of the beam/log is needed when replacing?
3) Laminated beam and wooden post against the foundation log, what does the chimney sweep say?!? There is a log frame there today, so it won't be worse, but the rules may have changed since 1884...
Overall replacement idea
Underlying floor beam/log
The plastered wall that goes up under the roof, hard to see/understand how the upper floor rests on the wall. The question is whether props are needed on both sides...?
Thanks in advance,
Österby
