Dimensions & End Column Notes

Resolving the office column EWR beam connection.
General Idea.
1. Minimise on site welding, so consider a end plate/ bolted connection to flange of PFC beams.
2. Try not to rotate column out of wall, to reduce space impact to both rooms.
If you have to have the wall off centre to the column, so one side of the wall runs plasterboard flush past the flange.
3. The M1 does not have to sit directly under the ridge for the EWR to be considered continuously supported. +_ a few hundred mm over the entire span is within tolerance for the loads.

Remember: dimensional tolerance is determined by the scale of the drawing, the basic sizes of the key building elements and the constructional tolerance that can be achieved.
