Steel beam connection
Steel beam connection
(OP)
Hi all
i have an overhanging steel beam with two intermidate spans and short cantilaver span 1 meter lenght.
at the end of this cantilevered span i have a beam with depth more than the depth of the overhanging beam where this beam should be carried by the overhanging beam at the end of cantilaver i calculated the number of bolts required and checked the shear connection for all checks (the are conected toghter trough of the web of both using two angles)
all checks were safe but i do not feel comfort that beam with smaller depth carry beam with larger depth
anyone have notice or recomendation or objection on that ?!
Thx all

RE: Steel beam connection
you mean total height or clear depth between flanges?

The associated cost difference is often little if any.

i have a steel beam and the connection between this beam and columns must be be moment connection (both column and beam are I shaped)
the question is that the width of the beam flange is greatter than the width of column flange (In side view of this connection the base plate and beam will appear a bit outisde the column)
Would it be a good choice to make normal moment connection using head plate?
