Channel Single Shear Connection Location (inside or outside)

(OP)
Do you agree with the attached sketch? If not, what is wrong with it? Thanks.

RE: Channel Single Shear Connection Location (inside or outside)

Agreed. I haven't fully thought through the effect on the channel, but as far as external reactions go, I'm with you.

RE: Channel Single Shear Connection Location (inside or outside)

this is an interesting problem....my intuition tells me it is a not as straight-forward as it first looked.....the closer to the SC that the channel is loaded/reacted the less torsion is in the member itself...so based on that I would say that V1<v2...but this goes against the idea that the reaction ligning up closest to the applied load would result in the lowest secondary forces.....not sure, at the moment...

RE: Channel Single Shear Connection Location (inside or outside)

I always put the connection outside the web to be closer to the shear centre. It would be a rare thing for the loading to be a point load as indicated. Loading typically distributes toward the web.
