Hi.
I am looking for some advise on joining up some RSJs.
They are 255 x 145 UBs. They have previously been used in a top supported gantry crane 20m long and cut up to be removed.
I intend to use them for rafters in an ageicultural shed.
Approx 8m wide and will probably have 2 joints per joists.
Question: what is the best way to join these together. Is a welded joint good enough or maybe a bolted splice.
I am a hobby welder but would be pretty happy with my welds for the job but just to be sure.
Thanks for your help.
