Hello PF,
I am trying to analyze a a beam, connected to another beam at one side at multiple locations (bad quality drawing below). The top side of the beam extends further and sit on another beam, while the shorter lower side is directly connected to another beam. They are all bolted connections.
My problem is, I have no idea how the load would be distributed between two connections. I came across this problem more than once but my solution was making one connection strong enough to take all the load. I cannot do it here because the space is not big enough to make a strong connection.
Thank you for any help.
