Re: Beam Question
I would think that cementing them into the pocket would be more for fire protection than anything else. It certainly will not hold that beam in place should it decide it needs to move.

That would require either bolting to poured concrete or welding to an embedded plate.

If that is supporting a load above, what is holding it down (from uplift)?
