"Bent" LVL Stair Stringer with Gusset Plate Connection
"Bent" LVL Stair Stringer with Gusset Plate Connection
(OP)
Please see the attachment. I originally designed this stringer using steel tube with full penetration welds where the flat landings attach to the sloped stringer. Client is looking to build this "bent" beam using wood. My thought is to go with 2-ply 1-3/4 x 11-1/4 LVL, overlapping at the two turns, then designing a bolted gusset plate connection to create one "continuous" beam. There are no interior supports and the "bent" stringer must span from wall to wall. Any thoughts or reference material I can use for design purposes? Again, please see the attachment for clarification.
Thank you.
Thank you.
