Was at a swimming pool recently and noticed a really strange support structure in the roof.
I can't for the life of me work out why it is done this way, or what it is doing ... It's starting to bug me.
Anyone any ideas. It almost looks decorative.

It just looks like some sort of spliced connection with stiffener plate, possibly around a change of roof pitch to form a 'north light' window on the roof. Hard to say for sure without knowing more about the rest of the roof profile.
It looks pretty ordinary to me.
I'm pleased it's normal and just not someone with a welder and some time to kill!
Strikes me that the welded plate can't be adding much ... But then I'm no structural engineer.

The additional pieces in the roof H-beam are to distribute the load of the diag H-beam supporst into the roof H-Beam and not concentrate it around the welds on the ends.
There will be similar on the other side of the H-beam
Thanks all. My curiosity is satisfied and I knew I came to the right place.
