Welding Plate to I beam

[gasoperations]

To increase the torsional resistance, I have to weld 10 mm thicjk plate to the flanges of an I beam to make it a box.

Could some one please advise how to specify the welding so as to prevent buckling during fabrication

Thanks

Hi gasoperations

If you mean weld distortion during fabrication have a look at this site:-
