I tried to attach the skecth with the previous post. Hope this workshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ff64f63e-2331-4a4f-847f-794946dafc97&file=20100330125623299.pdf
The length of an end beam (girder) is 42' and has 10 cantilevered HS members framing into it the web. The questions are:
1. Should the loads from the HS members be treated as point loads, moments on the flange or both?
2. Should the girder be designed for compression, flexure or shear?
Thanks...
