It pertains to detail to connect BB108 & precast lintel to exisƟng column. The drawings do not have a detail for this speciﬁc connecƟon. Because it is a non‐bearing condiƟon, the easiest ﬁx would be the following:  form an 8½” x 16” Ɵe beam,  drill/epoxy 4 #5 dowels (6” Embedment) into exisƟng column,  4 #5 horizontal rebar spliced to dowels,  3000 PSI concrete. If you give the ok, I will put it into acƟon. Thanks, Jim Jenco Superintendent Lebolo Construction Management, Inc. jjenco@lebolo.com m. (561) 667‐9726 www.lebolo.com o.
