  1. Thanks for reply guys, Yes i will have to check existing member load carrying capacity which is not an issue. The only issue is the connection detail between new and existing structural members because in most cases we will be required to connect new beam with existing beam not column and i presume they will have to drill holes in existing beam for the connection purpose. One other problem is when i am connecting one new walkway/Platform(1.2m With) in between two existing steel structure than i have to take care of expansion and contraction of existing structural members that can only be taken care in connection detail(Like slotted holes etc.)+ the deflections. I am waiting for the source data from client end once i get it i will share with you guys the actual site condition. Regards, Sohaib
  2. I am currently working on a project in which it is required to connect new platform/walkways in between two existing steel structures. The platforms are required to be connected at an elevation of about 30 to 40m. Span of most of the walkways is around 10m. I currently require some connection details/information regarding how to provide bolted connection in between new and existing steel members as welding is not allowed and only connection which can be given are to be bolted one. If some has done work/project of this nature it would be kind if you can share connection details which can be followed in the specific case scenario(New walkway/operating platforms beam connection with existing steel structure beam). PS: I would also appreciate if some one can give out box of idea of connecting these walkways at an high elevation apart from following conventional system, like I am thinking of giving cable stayed walkways etc. Best regards, Sohaib
