beam<br />

Fig. 26.13 Double notched beam to beam connection for double angle cleat connections<br />

Where both flanges of the beam are notched, as in the case of the connection<br />

shown in Fig. 26.13, it is recommended that each notch should not exceed the<br />

limits set for a single notch as stated above.<br />

For supported beams which are not laterally restrained, a more detailed investigation<br />

is required on the overall stability of the beam with notched ends against<br />

lateral torsional buckling.<br />

Beams with only one flange notched should be checked for lateral torsional buckling<br />

using the method given in clause 4.3 of BS 5950 with a modified effective length<br />

(Le) which takes account of the reduced stiffness of the beam at the notches.
