Existing Crane Runway Beam
Existing Crane Runway Beam
(OP)
Have an existing W24x55 channel capped runway beam but must add A36 members to bring it up to same properties as a W24x76. How have you fellow engineers dealt with this issue. Add C's to the web, add bottom C ??
Thanks to all...

For example, if you cover plate the beam bottom flange, the welds connecting the cover plate should not be stitch welds but a continuous weld. The finish detail of the weld end at the ends of the cover plate can greatly affect the class of fatigue you fall under.
Check out the AISC Spec for the Fatigue section for more info.
