Torsion in a simply supported beam
Torsion in a simply supported beam
(OP)
Hi,

I have a simply supported I-beam, connected by fin plate connection. Will this beam can take torsion.
As per AISC design guide 9 simply supported beam takes torsion. According to me this beam will never take torsion.
Please correct me.

Basically with clip angle/single plates.....the torsion will go to the connection by bending in the web. The web typically can't take much.

I think the clips can carry the incidental torsion that arises due to small imperfections, but not any sizable torsion like from a load.
