    Finding center of large i-beam web without specialized tools?

    I know they make special squares that have a little step so you're referencing the flat part of either flange (and not the curvature where the flanges meet the web). How would I do this if I didn't have access to that specific tool? I simple tape measure doesn't work because if you're...
