Splice of unequal flanges sections
Splice of unequal flanges sections
(OP)
Hello All
I have got a splice in an I steel section where flanges are unequal(the top one is 380mm wide and bottom one is 550mm)
Difference in dimension as it is a composite beam,i am bout to design the splice,common practie for designing splice is always diving the moment by depth of the section and get two equal forces in both flanges which would result in same number of bolts, my concern is it does not sound reasonable to have same bolts in different sizes flanges!
anyone would recommend other way for disturbing the force?

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

Ask some experienced engineer to check your design anyway to be on the safe side...
