repair of dapped end of concrete purlin
i have a concrete purlin that bears on a column on its dapped end. the dapped end has excessive cracks and i'm looking for another way to transfer the loads to the column. "but clansman, put a bracket underneath and be done with it" .... not so fast. there's a pipe that runs down the column so a bracket will not work. i was thinking of supporting the purlin with hangars from the perpendicular girder, but those would have to extend out quite a bit to avoid the drain pipe, thought they would look a tad funny. anyone else have any ideas they can throw at me? see attachment so you can better grasp the last detail i mentioned. the picture does not show the connection with the pipe. thanks.

if a builder has built a house for a man and has not made his work sound, and the house which he has built has fallen down and so caused the death of the householder, that builder shall be put to death." code of hammurabi, c.2040 b.c.fff">
anyway to build a 'saddle' type bracket between the column and the purlin? (think of a simpson wood joist hanger for the general concept.)
