Steel Beam Reinforcing
Steel Beam Reinforcing
(OP)
Does anyone have a reference for reinforcing steel beams?
I need to know the adequacy of bolting 2 C channels on either side of a W section?
The W section is a W200x21. The 2 channels are C130x10 inside C180x15 on either side of web. Bolts are 1/2" diam at 12" o.c.
Factored moment is 80 kN m and factored shear is 50 kN.
Unfactored udl live load is 10 kN/m.
Probably better to weld a plate to the bottom of the flange but this work is completed and person wants to know if ok.

Michael.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

Probably a single line of bolts in a C130 (or C5 - 5"). A single line along the centerline does little for moment capacity and little to make the members perform together.
