Thank you for the great info everyone - I haven't dealt with twin beams before so on a learning curve.

I agree - two beams so close seems strange. The reason is because the span requires a beam that is to deep "architecturally" - so a solution for a smaller beam is required. Additionally the hope is to use the small space between the beams as a running rail for a shutter.

Hello all, I am looking at two parallel beams but have my suspicions on using parallel axis theorem. It seems the beams the "overall" member will be too stiff and therefore not representative. Generally the "beam set" supports a slab and a point load. Beam 1 supports majority of the slab. Beam...
