Hello Everyone
I just wanted to know if you had a beam connection where the supporting beam is running perpendicular to the beam it is going to support and you are connecting the beam via a bolted method to the webs of both beams, what would be the best connection to use to resist the anticipated forces being imposed, shear etc.
Beam A is the supporting beam and beam B is the beam that is supported, now if beam A is also supporting a 3 storey solid double skin brick wall and 3 floors all constructed of 8x2 timber joists and then is going to be supporting beam B by its web as well and beam B is supporting a double skin brick wall 1 storey high, what would you use?
Both beams are 254 x 146s
Angle cleat, fin or flexible end plate connection etc?
Also what size bolts would be suitable m20 in 22mm holes?
Many Thanks
