I have a need to strongly connect two technic beams (one on top of each
other). Simply attaching them on top of each other (with Lego studs) is
not strong enough for my use. I am assuming that I need to somehow brace
them through the side holes but can not figure out how.
I need there to be just the two technic beams and can not space them with
Lego plates so I can not seem to strengthen them with liftarms as they
don’t fit nicely with just 2 beams. (ok... at least I don’t know how to
make them fit).
Any of that make sense?

How many studs of overlap can you have? Also, how much space can you have on
the sides?
A tacky way to solve the problem would be to run a string through the holes in a
spiral type fasion and then tie the ends together. Hey; no one can say it
doesn’t work!
BTW, what is this design for? If you show some pictures I might be able to
alter your constraints.
