Steel I beam cut in half
Just wanted to see what comments I could get about this. I wanted to be able to give my client some decient information but I have been unable to get any hard information from the books I have. What I have is a steel beam which appears to have been cut. In the first pic the cut is directly above the expansion tank over the water heater. There is about 2 feet of cantilevered beam on the right side and about 10 feet on the left. In the second pic you can see a close up of what I think has been cut. The left side resting on three 2x4s. The next real colum to the left is a 4inch steel post about 10 feet away. Am I crazy or is this way wrong??? By the way there are two stories about this.
