H Beams.

Zoomup

You are working in a steel framed building. Would you ever drill holes in load bearing steel H beams?

    Looks like a nice garage! ?

    I may well enroll in an Open University engineering course this year, partly because I think that it would be useful to know about simple beams.

    So let's say that you drill a 20 mm hole in the web. If it were going to fail, presumably the hole would squash in from the sides. But if you put some galvanized conduit through, the picture may be very different.

    Oh well, make sure that your insurance is paid up and give it a go!
