CROSS REPORTS Report 971

摘要

A reporter on-site discovered that a steel beam had the web cut away at the support to avoid having to divert some services. The cut-out meant that the whole of the loading on the beam would have been supported byjust bending in the bottom flange once the temporary props had been removed. Additionally, the site staff did not have all the structural drawings for the project, so had made up a beam to column connection as a flexible end plate whereas there needed to be a full-moment end plate connection.
