@@nolanengineeringpllc2713 I’m talking about that bracket that attaches to the floor joist at 13:17 (13min 17 sec). What is that called and where can I get them?
No disrespect sir, being a engineer i know you're into new methods and techniques of repairing that wall, why not recommend taking the wall out and showing more hands on methods of supporting the floor and removing the wall and replacing it. Some houses are built on bad footings as well and shallow footings with earlier built homes. Thats why I stopped by. Still a wonderful video.
I dated a civil engineer for nearly a decade and worked with concrete at the age of 5 until today for a total of 45 years. I have just hand dug down 8 feet to reach the block foundation through various sizes of red shale with a few of them at least 2 foot by 2 foot. They are challenging when locked in place by more shale pieces and roots. I struck 2b about an inch from 3" corrugated tubing on top of foundation. It initially appears to have no slots or holes but, I just reached the top of it the other day and needed a break. The soil above the inch of gravel was a mix of clay and topsoil but very dense. It was about 4 inches in depth with the remaining 6'8" above shale and root with a 6" layer of topsoil. Once I discovered the bowed wall and sheered portion, I first dug a trench to funnel rain water into the creek that is 5 feet way from foundation. I was amazed to find clay six inches down and with further digging learned the home is surrounded by clay except the very back of the home that is next to creek. The man who sold the home to my mother knew what was happening because he did his best to conceal the damage by gluing foam insulation board on the addition portion of basement and peg board along the original cmu part. It is looking like the only recourse is to dig out the entire northern side of house, Jack up both the addition and original side of house and either strap the original portion after straightening(lord knows I don't want to redo all that block) or redo it. The addition portion of basement must be redone as the sheer is over limit and many blocks are cracked anyway. Two courses of the back corner are sticking out around 1 and 1/2" inches. I may just decide to form up the whole wall and pout it. I bought a cement mixer to rebuild the creek. That is another story but it does tie into the basement.
Excellent explanation, thank you!
At 13:17 you show a bracket with a bolt that appears to be able to inch the ibeam forward. What is that bracket called and where can I get them?
No nothing connects to an I-beam. The top of the strap bolts to the wood rim board.

@@BossTone1 I'm pretty sure it is included with the system and not sold separately.
