Hello all,
Just thinking of this in my head, and maybe over thinking it. First a description of the problem,If i have two upright I beams, and an I beam spanning from one to the other. The horizontal beam isn't sitting on top of the two uprights, but bolted to the face of them. In calculating the force acting downwards at each end of the horizontal beam, do i just treat this as a simply supported at both ends and calculate the upward reactions at each, and use this as the force to calculate the shear stress in the bolts.
Thanks in advance for all replies
