You should spend some time familiarizing yourself with the engineering principles behind the structure of an I beam.

would you care to elaberate?

would you care to elaberate?

An I beam has a tall thin web that is supported from deflection by the upper and lower crossbars that form the horizontal top and bottom of the I.

The vertical web is much stronger than anyone credits it for and rarely are those plates you overlapped the vertical joint with even remotely necessary.

Given the fact that you have two of them makes the reinforcements even more redundant. The proper way to brace that connection would be with a strap over the top and along the bottom of the horizontal flanges. (top and bottom of the frame rails)

Examine an I beam and it's uses sometime, it's pretty enlightening when you see just how thin the web is.
