I'm replacing some cut joists with 2x10s. They are going from the foundation wall to the house carrying beam (8' away from the foundation wall).

How do I anchor the 2x10 to the carrying beam? I could send some screws threw the 2x10 into the beam but I was wondering if there was a more robust approach. Another idea is to use 1/2 bolts and nuts to attach the 2x10 to the old joists. Attachment would be in the undamaged areas.

I'm going to use framing angle (corner braces) to attach the 2x10s on the foundation wall side.

You have decent bearing (resting) on the beam but these will join the 2 to work as one. (first couple of pics) use the RSS series in the 3 1/4" or 4" length.

This joist hanger is your connecting bracket at the beam inset into the brick.👍

I noticed 4 OTHER joists that were notched pretty good. These 4 joists having bearing on the foundation wall.

Is it worth putting in new joists (2x10x8) along side the notched ones? Or am I just chasing my tail?
