Hi friends,
There are two steel I-sections (different in cross section) placed end to end with a plate sandwitched between the two.
-> ---|--- <- The force is compressive with no moments.
Sice the I sections are different, the flanges do not meet end to end. Only the web is co-centric. The first member is 600(H)X600(W) and the second one is 700(H)x700(W) in mm units.
The client has asked me check the bending moments induced in the plate due to flage offset. What I could do is to work out the force in flanges by reducing it in proportion to the cross-sectional area and compute the moments. But I dont feel any confident about it.
What you guys think? Will the moment be induced in this fashion or not?
Thanks in advance,
flame
