When reinforcing a beam by a adding a steel section (like putting an upside down channel on the bottom flange of an H beam), is there any standard on the spacing of welds or bolts to ensure that both beams will work as one?
As I mentionned I was enquiring about non equilibrated loads.
I am actually working with something designed by someone else, and with the WLL of the rigging elements, it seems that the initial engineer considered that the load was equally spread between all 8 points. Considering that he uses...
Do you have any sources on the skew load factors?
For 4 slings, I always used the principle that 2 of them did the work (i.e. take 50% of the load each)
If multiple lifting points are used for circular, symmetrical load (with the CG at its center), is it viable to consider that more than 3 points share the load?
Let's say I want to lift with 8 equidistant lifting points, would each point take 1/8 of the total load?
This is, of course, without...
