Web Openings & Moment Connections
Web Openings & Moment Connections
(OP)
Does anyone know of any guidelines, buiding code requirements, AISC specs or AISC Design Guide #2 recommendations against putting web openings in beams/girders with moment connections?
These beams are part of the lateral load resisting system and they have moment connections.

If you cannot move it away from the moment connection, then you will probably have to have a much stronger beam than would have otherwise been required.
