Angle Seat
Angle Seat
(OP)
I have an angle seat 150x100x12 welded to a cast in plate in a tilt up panel.
Its supporting a roof beam pitched at 2 deg.
So I'm specifying that it can be bent to suit the roof pitch.
Now if its bent the metal yields, so is there a need to include a stiffener under the leg even though it doesn't need one if the leg was not bent?

RE: Angle Seat
If you do not pre-bend the angle-iron, how will you ensure "only" the leg bends, and that force does not distort or tear the weld holding the angle iron to the wall plate, nor the bolts (?) or embeds holding the plate to the concrete?

Also if the angle is pitched at 2 degrees the gap at the bottom is about 5mm max, could this still be filled with weld or is the gap to big?
