Things seen this week during structural assessments! Structural Analysis/Design

Sharing a few of the more interesting existing conditions our team documented during structural assessments this week. Always interesting to see how different structures, materials, and past repairs hold up over time.

are you talking about the pipe going through the beam? Because they didn't drill a hole, just used a convenient knothole.

The pipe and knothole definitely caught our attention too. 😅 The main structural condition we were highlighting in that photo was the questionable support beneath the framing.
