Coping the Beam Criteria
Coping the Beam Criteria
(OP)
Dear All,
We are using a plate grider of depth 1000mm for supporting a pressurized duct.
in site, we have problem that one of the piping coming on the way is calshing with the plate grider and we need to cut the plate grider to avoid it.
we thought of cutting plate grider to avoid the calsh and strength it locally to match the required section modulus and adding stiffeners.
But we want to cut around 600mm from the depth of plate grider, please advice whether is there any more checks to be done for coping so much depth in plate grider.
THANKS

I attach printout of a Mathcad 2000 Professional checks for all steel beams with round web openings; I am not sure if it was to the former edition of such guide or the tech info at one AISC Structural Journal article.

To cope in an area with high moment is another matter.
