How would you brace a bowing wall in a crawlspace with dirt floors?

[@blowupuate13]

Why not just weld a plate to the end of the I beam, pop a hole on each side of the plate and secure the beam anchor bolts. Less concrete work.

How much does something like this cost?

[@MrAnonymous1515]

Interesting.. why would you tie directly into the joists instead of boxing it in?

[@shanenewman6735]

too much pressure on the one floor joist. better to tie into multiple for a stronger hold

That basement has seen some days

I do not agree with the grouting. That prohibits any straightening of the wall. Epoxy injection in the cracks.

What is he talking about? It’s a post not a beam, what the hell does that little piece of wood do. Skimmed below the floor joists. , which wall is bowed ? The exterior? Some random un shown interior wall.

Look again, it's an I-beam. Looks similar to the ones I just installed. 9.5lbs per foot. But they do have a few things wrong. As to the smallest lag bolt that should ever be used in a residential property is a half inch diameter which is a code in the international residential mechanical systems (IRMS). Not necessarily his fix. As code does not go over a structural repair.
I agree the spacing is important. No more that 6' apart. But the one I just finished up. The wall was made up from 8"x8"x16" cinder blocks and I say no more that 4' apart (48").
