Hello there! Are you thinking about removing a wall and are not sure if it’s load-bearing? Do you want to remove a wall to open up space? Want to cut-in another window or door opening? Concerned about settlement in your house or surrounding features or cracks in foundations? Need to build a retaining wall? House sustained damage and you are asked for an evaluation from the engineer by insurance? Have a full-blown remodel in mind and need to make sure that structural modifications are done correctly? Or are you thinking about an addition to your home or a brand new construction? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions above (or similar ones), please, feel free to give me a call and we can discuss your needs, schedule an inspection and/or work out a structural design package for your job, as required by cities and counties. Many of these efforts typically call for architectural services, as well, which I would be happy to recommend for you. I look forward to speaking with you!

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Hiring a structural engineer costs about $550 on average. However, prices range from as low as $200 up to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge by project, hourly, or by the square footage, making it important to understand how your chosen engineer structures their estimates. Additional cost factors include project type, the scope of work, the size of the project, and your geographic location.
