(OP)
I have a situation where the floor joist only attach to one side of a steel beam, is this going to cause problems with twisting? The floor joists are trusses and both the beam and the trusses are 16" high. The beam is 16" 40lbs per foot and is 30' long with a second floor exterior wall resting on it. Thank You

1) a sketch of the truss to beam connection detail.
2) a sketch of the beam to beam support connection detail.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

I can change the post to what ever will work.
RE: I have a situation where the floor
Yes - a Simpson hanger attached to the side of a beam will twist the beam.
If the hanger is an over-the-top type hanger (top flange hanger vs. a face mount) it will twist the beam.
The wall on top of the beam, assuming a simple stud wall, will not help (much).
The beam will twist.
The screw jack columns, with a simple bracket top plate will not be capable of resisting the beam twist.
Find a local engineer to design this if you aren't one.
