Hello! I'm working on a garage with a vaulted ceiling on my property.
I've scored two HEB 220 beams from work and i'm planning on using these as a ridge beam for a vaulted ceiling. I've been playing around on Skyciv and they're plenty strong together.
However, it automatically bonded the beams into a composite, i'm wondering what the recommended method of attaching the beams together IRL is? I know that a bonded composite is stronger than two simple stacked beams.
What's making me confused is the shear stress I got (~50kN in each corner) from Skyciv, is this really it? That sounds like nothing to my untrained ears? Couple of M16/M20 8.8 bolts through the flanges and i'm all set? Better yet, run a couple of long welds along the flanges?
I was about to send these to the local ironsmith, but I could drill and bolt that pretty easily myself... Please help!
See attached file for the beam calculation from Skyciv
