(OP)
Do you accept that twin steel beams bolted together through their webs at mid height, can transfer loads equally between them.

RE: Twin steel beams - structural
How are the beams loaded? What are the sizes of the beams?
RE: Twin steel beams - structural
How are the beams loaded? web, top flange bearing, etc.
Is only one beam loaded?
What is the detail of how you connect them together?
What is the spacing of the connectors?
How large are the beams?
There is not one answer for all situations.
RE: Twin steel beams - structural
It depends! The question is too general

RE: Twin steel beams - structural
In general, I would guess uneven loading of the beams if the loads were not applied equally and symmetrically.
RE: Twin steel beams - structural
I would have tought about connection plates on the flanges. If the load is not symmetrical, you will end up with torsion on the built up section. I think this arrangement is more adequate in that respect.....
