Re: I-beam installed upside down

Text of the message:
Hi Guys
Am I missing something here.
Firstly, as many have said, assuming this is a standard off the shelf I
beam, then you can install any way up ( but not sideways )  i.e. the web is
vertical
Secondly if you are getting 3/8" deflection in 13' span  this is just about
right for max deflection   ( 1/360)  not sure if your regs are the same in
your part of the world
However, I hope the beam is fully loaded when deflecting this much
Next, putting in stronger posts will do nothing to strengthen the beam,
unless you use wide cap plates and gusset stiffeners, which may or may not
be aesthetically possible
The clear and obvious way to proceed with this, is to ask your structural
Engineer to check the calcs,  or perhaps it may be prudent to use an
independent one
Hope this helps
David
