Stiffener detail to create a hole in W-beam
Stiffener detail to create a hole in W-beam
(OP)
Can anyone please give a typical stiffener detail to create a hole in a W beam? I would really appreciate it. In my case, I need to create a 12" wide x4" high hole (at the mid-depth of the beam) in a W16x36 beam.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Add an angle each side of the web, top and bottom such that bending stresses are acceptable. Extend the angles at least 6" beyond the opening.
