A contractor has asked if the welded connection in the attached drawing could be switched to a bolted connection. There have been locations where the flume is skewed. This skew flume and needing to line up with the post location needed in the thrie beam transition makes it difficult to use the standard set up.
Could they use a button head bolt and provide a recess in the wooden block?
My guess if we got too wild with the location of the plate there could be eccentric loading issue on the beam.
I think that would work as well. Just thought that the slots would be easier.
