Hi everyone,
I’m working on a project where we need to reduce the weight of a steel beam, but we can’t sacrifice its strength. What are some effective methods or design considerations to achieve this balance? Any suggestions or tips would be really helpful!
To connect a steel beam to a steel column, you should first make sure the beam and column are well aligned. You can use a welded base plate on the column and then bolt the beam to the plate. If needed, you could also use stiffeners or gusset plates to help spread the load evenly.
It is very...
