    Beam issue

    Sounds like this is normal, but is this extremely over stressed? Do I need to be concerned this will happen again in 5 to 10 years? What's causing the beams to be over stressed? I would have thought the original builders would have tested the beams to ensure this didn't happen.

    Beam issue

    Can anyone interpret the attached document for me? Is this something I need to worry about? Would this issue already have compromised the structure of the home? https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=733b70d8-3f24-472e-8f3e-a3d27fab2206&file=Steal_Beam.pdf Thanks!
