hard to tell in the pic. but i’ll guess that the joist is doubled? with the joint lapped on the other side? if not then i’d think that there isn’t sufficiant support under the joint to support it properly. it should cover alot more of each side than that. plus i can’t see what is fastening the 2 to each other. it’s a tough picture to analys. did you just run downstairs and snap on off of your own house? if ya did, could you get some different angles and stand still to let the camara focus.???

Nothing that I can see wrong in that picture… Have I had to many beers again? Or is that picture blurry?
Steel beam in a crawl, you should feel privileged, is this a tri- level? Is the floor showing signs of being not level?

Isn’t that a girder?, Where’s the Simpson hardware? During a pleasant 6.0 shaker, that might end up off the pier and resting on grade. I did about (80) FEMA and/or Insurance Inspections after the 94’ Northridge Quake. I found a lot of isolated post foundation systems, “Pier & Post”, that were no longer in contact with each other. Interior floors and walls would drop the depth of the sub area and be resting on grade. I had an Associated Press Journalist with me on two days worth of inspections, once he got a look in one of the sub areas of a collapsed structure, he wouldn’t leave the front yard on any of the other inspections…
