The end of the beam has marks on it that make it look like it was existing and had a plate welded on it.
It looked to me like the end of the beam fractured but it could also be that the end of the beam was cut with a torch and that it was held in place with a bracket welded across the middle. That would be a very, very crude way to build a building but I suppose it is possible. Hard to say without being there and looking at stuff. We only one one picture and it isn't that clear so I'm not jumping to a conclusion. Just saying that if a person wanted to know why it failed they should start by looking at the I beam.

In Memphis there was an ice storm Thurs followed by 11 inches of snow......My carport is the most rickety thing in the world, I thought for sure the snow would mess it up....It survived fine.....That garage beam must have had a very questionable no penetration weld.

This country isn't (yet) a 3rd world dump, so don't be cheap when it comes to building any structures. Code, or no code. I find this comment hilarious ... in a country where mobile homes and trailer parks reign supreme !!
