deep steel beam to shallow steel beam framing
deep steel beam to shallow steel beam framing
(OP)
I have a 27 ft span. calcs. shows that a W12x14 should be ok.this W12 would frame into a W8x10 that only spans 5 ft. I am thinking about making the W8x10 a W 10x12 just so they dont have to cut out so much of the W12 to fit it to the W10. But I dont think its really necessary -just looks kinda strange to have a W12 connected to a W8 (TOS=TOS).
Just curious is there some rule of thumb, or usual, or standard, practice regarding beam to beam connections and depth ratios? Is there any problem framing a W12 to a W8 ? I figure theyll be able to get 2 bolts in so shear is no problem not a problem with the net web remaining either. But I'm just wondering if I missed anything.

One thing to think about is that if these are roof members and you're welding steel deck to them, it's harder for the spot welder to hit the beam with a 4 inch flange.

Mathematically it works. Visually....it looks stupid.
