Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your reply. Yes. Not only in the middle. We are reinforcing it because we are using it to support a new monorail load. Can we use a fillet weld at the end intead ? Is there another reason to provide more bolts if one is enough for the load transfer ? Thank you again !

Thank you Kootk, I thought this forum was more frequented.

Thank you again, If I understood your idea, you mean if for example we are adding a 50 KN concentrated load on the beam, we consider 25 KN as a shear load on the bolt, and if it is a 10KN/m we condier 10x0.3=3KN on the bolt ? I have no experience in wood design. That's what I think too...

Hi Everyone, We are reinforcing a corroded existing W16x36 with two centred C12x30 channels. I would like your opinion on how to determine the efforts on the connection bolts and their spacing as the shear flow is null. I detemined the maximum force from the stress on the half top of the...

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate. But how can we be sure the loads are fully transmitted to the channels and the bolts are resisting ? Is there a way to calculate the efforts on the bolts using the pressure on the channels from the bending moment ? and how to distribute it on the...

Thank you so much CDLD.

Thank you for your help. Do you think it's better to consider only the bottom flange of the monorail for the lateral moment resistance ?

I found it in two calculation notes. I couldn't find any code or guide talking about. I think we can remove it and considerate only the bottom flange is resisting the lateral bending moment. No torsion will then be taken into account.

Canadian, American or any other code. I couldn't find any reference anywhere.

Anyone has any idea ?

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any information where we can have any code discussion about the Torque Reduction Factor (β = 1.08 - 0.186(μL) + 0.0099(μL)2 ; µ = √(GJ/ECw ) ; L = span) for the calculation of the lateral bending moment of a monorail beam ? I couldn't find any reference. thank...

No it will be removed by small loaders.

Actually,the pellets are accidently falling from a conveyor at the same level of the wall and they are accumulated near to the wall.
