Torsion or not?
Torsion or not?
(OP)
I appreciate if you can tell me if the beam A (upper beam) causes torsion in beam B (lower beam)
Thank you
Thank you
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

The lower beam (beam B) spans 15 feet between columns.

However, just ignore this torsion and run your load path assuming no torsion. We can redistribute this load because the beams and connections can deform a little and allow stiffer load paths to take more of their share of the load. This would only present a problem if you were dealing with a heavier load and thousands of load cycles (fatigue). Never really thought of steel "cracking" until I saw it with my own eyes.

You mentioned, " if detailed correctly the no Torsion"
May I ask whats a correct detail for no torsion?
A sketch may help - Thank you very much
RE: Torsion or not?
If Beam B is free to rotate about its axis at the supporting columns, there will be no torsion as it will simply assume the slope of Beam A over its entire length. Such a connection would be unusual.
