Welding both ends of the lintel to bearing plate
Welding both ends of the lintel to bearing plate
(OP)
I have seen projects by other engineers where the lintel is allowed to welded at both ends to the bearing plate. Personally I like the "rigid" connection only one one side (unless I have lateral/torsional loads). How to do the senior head here approach this issue.
