Jim's analysis is in-line with my understanding. Most basement slabs are only a couple inches thick, but support columns have deeper & wider footings (required by building code). Can leave existing column in place until concrete work is done. Then jack up beam on both sides and slip fit new support column (cut to size and with welded square metal flanges on each end) which get bolted (anchored) in place. Dennis H., Saratoga NY
