Steel Beam Bearing On Concrete Wall

Beam bearing on concrete.

Steel beam bearing on concrete wall.

The action is essentially the same as a footing that distributes a large load to softer soil. And beams connection details should recognise the physical characteristics of both steelwork and the material to which the steelwork is connected. Highly complex steel beam installations with underpinnings or long spans cost 500 per foot or 6 000 to 10 000. The beam pockets in the concrete can and should be within 2 below the required height plus or minus.

A bearing plate takes the reaction of a steel beam and distributes that force over a larger area that is made of a material that is not as strong as steel. The average cost to install a steel beam is 1 200 to 4 200 or between 100 and 400 per foot which includes a structural engineer s inspection permits the beam delivery and installation.
