Structural Engineer Approved!

[Tim Spargo]

It's possible someone whom the Engineer trusted sent a "statement" indicating a different situation than what is actually there.... And he based his findings from that, at least you hope that it was a case of poor judgement rather than approving what is there. Ugh

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Your probably right Tim. I can't believe even an engineer fresh out of school would not know better than than. Hell, even a typical framing contractor would know better.

Without knowing all the facts or the spans of the joists, it looks like the girder is simply used to reduce the deflection in the floor system which if that is the case would make the issue a moot point thereby the SE simply approving of this set up.

They may look funny to you but nobody in Tennessee is gonna put their hound dog at risk by not having a properly supported front porch.

Steven you need to take a vacation. We don't have hound doges here, just what ever mutt you can round up. My neighbors down the road have so many in their front yard it has no grass. The dogs are like some of the people, ugly and inbred

A structural engineer is responsible for the design and evaluation of anything that supports or carries a load. The role of a structural engineer can be divided into two primary areas, buildings and non-building structures or devices.
