• The following three images show the type of beam being used and how it is attached to the concrete exterior walls. 
  

1. Close up of the section for the 'I' beam being used. 
   

2. (image needs to be rotated) Connection where the I beam is to be attached.

3. Connection of I beam to external wall. You can see how the concrete surrounding the flange has been smoothed over by more concrete, i will be looking into this type of connection and the advantages and disadvantages associated, further in the weeks to come.
