I-beam Under Concrete Beam
I-beam Under Concrete Beam
(OP)
I plan to reinforce a girder beam (there is another beam framing into it at midspan) due to our codes not enclosing the concept of 45 degree compression struts in beam-girder joints and lack of internal hanger stirrups requirements I mentioned in the another thread.
I will use a 12x12 I-beam and metal plates attached to the columns with expansion bolts. I need to know if someone has implemented such design before. Please suggest tips and tell what you encountered along the way. The columns can handle the loads and additional shear from the shorter column effect.

Another obvious one - when drilling into the concrete column consider the reinforcing that you will hit/cut and the impact that has on the column capacity.
