RSJ, support post moved, is it safe
Discussion
My mother has an allocated space in a shared garage/carport thing. The opening is 14meters and is supported by 3 RSJs. The roof is tiled and pitched and the walls are single skin brick
At the join between each RSJ there is a 150mm x 150mm metal post from the ground to the join. A neighbour had one of these posts removed and moved closer to one of the supporting walls ( it is now 2.3m from the wall). The join that the post was supporting has a single steel plate bolted to the rear of it to replace the post.
This has caused some concern for a number of reasons. Whilst the neighbour has shared that the builder said "it would be ok"...
How do I find out if this is actually the case?
