I would like to double the shear capacity of an I beam by welding some steel plates. What strengthening schemes are available? How would you define the shear area for the strengthening scheme proposed?

$\begingroup$ @SolarMike, my question here is for shear strengthening, the other question is moment strengthening. These are two different question. $\endgroup$– JarardMay 29, 2017 at 5:40

The web have almost all the resistance to shear. I recommend to review the basic texts of mechanics of materials, such as that of James M Gere.
