You could well be right - I'm not 100% sure whether it's actually taking weight though.
If the beams go in the direction I think they do (horizontal), at most only one beam would actually be resting on it. Of course if they go vertical then it would definitely be taking weight and an RSJ designed by a structural engineer is needed.

The terms you are using are confusing. ALL joists go horizontal.
Vertical means from floor to ceiling.
There will not be a case of ONE joist resting on a wall. It will be all or nothing. |
