About this detail

This structural detail defines the allowable limits and spacing requirements for web penetrations along the length of a steel beam. Openings are restricted to the middle half of the beam length, leaving the outer quarter spans free of penetrations. Circular openings and rectangular openings are limited to a maximum depth of one-third of the beam depth. Minimum edge distances, transverse member clearances, and clear spacings between adjacent openings are specified for both composite and noncomposite beams.
