retired13, if you look at the original beam stress with notch, the stresses are very low as well apart from the notched section.
Just need to make sure plates are extended far enough to smoothen out the stress
Thanks again for input guys.
PEinc - if I had the option to weld the strengthening measures, the life be much easier then. The strengthening has to be a bolted one and in have few space restraints. I am hoping to get survey information from site sometime next week and will take it from there...
The problem we have is that no hot work is permitted and solution has to be bolted. This is a live gas plant.
What I can do is look into is to design a spliced connection with cover plates on the web and top and bottom flange. Can add shims at the bottom flange cover plate in order to avoid the...
Thank you for replying Littleinch
Why do you think bolting wont give me that strength? Would it not add the strength due to composite action if the bolts are designed to take the full capacity shear flow?
Would it not act as a smaller depth I-beam considering the fact the angle is nearly 300mm...
Hi jayrod
Thank you replying buddy.
The drain pipe be following the design slope and will be passing through the webs of adjacent beams. On this particular one, the drain is clashing the bottom flange.
There are other services running in the area which prevents the drain pipe to be dropped...
Hello all
I am working on this steel skid where I have to make access for the drainage pipes.
The bottom flange of UC254 has to be notched for a length of 150mm and depth of 95mm.
The beam span is 7.2m with intermediate transverse beams and the notch is in the centre of beam where moment is the...
