I have a second floor beam that hangs out over the entry to support the floor joists. The space created on the other side of the beam is for the stairs. The second floor then extends beyond the beam to carry a non-load wall using angle supports. What’s code for this type of support? Best practice? Note this is different than a cantilevered joist as the joist ends at the beam.
