BOLTED BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CONNECTIONS
BOLTED BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CONNECTIONS
(OP)
Dear Sir/ Madam,
We have framing with beams W12x22 and W10x12. The web thk. of both of it 3/16". The same time we use double-angle
( (2)-L 4x3 1/2x5/16 )connections with wide gage 5 1/2".
It seems to me we can not do it because max. spacing should be 3/16" x 24 = 4.5" and in that case we should use narrow gage 4" ( (2)-L 3 1/2x3x5/16 ).
What do you think about it?
Sincerely,

Even without the gap, as if it were an end plate, I wouldn't apply this to the spacing (gage) you're looking at. Maybe that's not right, but that's what I would do.
RE: BOLTED BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CONNECTIONS
Thank you for your answer.
It seems to me all bolts consist of one group of bolts.
I suppose that this requirement provides a work of bolts together and reduce deformations in connection - as web as angles.
What do you think?

What you would do if you need to make built-up beam (girder) with web 3/16" thk. and to make assembly with bolts or rivets?

I am not quite catch your question. To me, I don't see any problem with double 4x3 1/2x5/16 angle clamping on W10x12 I-Beam web, then, the two flat face of double angle bolt to one side face of the W12x22 I-Beam web. So what is your problem? Maybe, I misunderstood your question?

RE: BOLTED BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CONNECTIONS
there is some limitations for max. distance in bolt's (rivet's)group between bolts (rivets)as you know.
One of it for web 3/16" thk. is 3/16" x 24 = 4 1/2".

Sorry, I mean W12x14.

Round up to 4 1/4", or 4 1/2", would this work?
RE: BOLTED BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CONNECTIONS
I agree, my point is that we cann't use gage more than
4 1/2" for web 3/16" [ because max. spacing should be 3/16" x 24 = 4.5" and in that case we should use narrow gage 4"
( (2)-L 3 1/2x3x5/16 ) ].
Sincerely,
RE: BOLTED BEAM TO BEAM ANGLE CONNECTIONS
For your case, if either the 3 1/2x3x5/16 or 4x3 1/2x5/16 works, I don't see the argument for choosing the lighter one.
