I have a few bent beams in the yard where forklift or something has caught them out on site. If i was to cut them down from 8m to 6m, 5m, 4m or 3m (away from bend), will this have any bearing on its' strength and would it get pulled by Health and Safety. Obviously i will cut it past post in beam, the same length as good end.
Also if we drilled out the pin/bolt holes will this be acceptable? Otherwise a waste of a good, expensive beam.
