Steel beams with Holes
Steel beams with Holes
(OP)
I have to design holes through an existing steel beam. The beam is class 3 (Canadian steel code) and i can not find anything to help me in the code. If you know please let me know.

RE: Steel beams with Holes
I made some Mathcad worksheets some years ago dealing with holes in steel or composite simply supported beams that I made available from the Mathcad 2000 Collaboratory site at Mathsoft, from where you may download them out of the Civil Engineering folder.
If your web is too thin or whatever other rare thing, then go for applicable akin codes, surely you will find some way to tackle your problem.
RE: Steel beams with Holes
The best way is to return to the basic theory, work out the stresses and then work out how much stiffening the web will need to overcome the stresses. Generally this may end up as longitudinal stiffening and conjunction with web stiffeners.
I'm not familiar with Roarks, but I would be surprised if there isn't some form of solution in it.
Good luck
