Steel H column connection to mid-span of steel I beam
Steel H column connection to mid-span of steel I beam
(OP)
Hi
I am looking for design examples of connections between the base of a steel column to the mid-span of a steel I beam. Effectively the beam is acting as a transfer beam. The column will transfer nominal axial compression and nominal bending moments into the beam.
Many thanks for you assistance.

Is there any software that could analyse the local effects of a combined load case?

a) What are the beam and column sizes / designations?
b) Is the column web aligned with the beam web (ideal) or perpendicular to it?
c) Is switching thee orientation of the column web an option for you?
d) How much column compression load is being delivered to the beam? "Transfer beam" and "nominal compression" would seem to be in-congruent. Or, by nominal compression, do you mean the axial load in the beam rather than that delivered from the column?
By specific examples, do you mean numerically solved examples? I can't think of any off of the top of my head. However, if you're interested in discussing the detailing and the particular checks that would need to be evaluated, I can certainly help with that. We discussed a similar situation in this thread for starters.
As far as finding a numerical example of your condition, you might consider investigating the condition of a continuous beam running over top of a supporting column (sketch below from roby's stuff). It's a very similar case, just upside down.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
