I would like to double the shear capacity of an I beam by welding some steel plates. What strengthening schemes are available? How would you define the shear area for the strengthening scheme proposed?

  • @SolarMike, my question here is for shear strengthening, the other question is moment strengthening. These are two different question. – Jarard May 29 '17 at 05:40
  • Apply what you have been given then - and check out the applicable theory – Solar Mike May 29 '17 at 05:50

The web have almost all the resistance to shear. I recommend to review the basic texts of mechanics of materials, such as that of James M Gere.

    Please put any required information in your answer. A recommendation to a book does not help very much. The answer should mainly stand on its own. – hazzey Nov 08 '18 at 01:51
