Add beam to opposite of existing connection?
Add beam to opposite of existing connection?
(OP)
With a situation similar to the picture below (a beam with double angle shear connection connecting it to the web of a larger beam) is it acceptable to connect another beam with a single angle shear connection to the other clear side of the beam web and reuse (or replace with longer) bolts? The beam being framed into is acceptable for the additional load.
