The assembly features wide-flange beams connected to columns using full-depth shear plates with 3/8-inch stiffener plates and fillet welds on three sides. Bottom flange braces utilize L4x4x1/4 angles with 1-inch diameter A325SC bolts connecting to a 3/8-inch center gusset plate. Continuity plates match the beam flange thickness with a minimum 1/2-inch thickness and 50 ksi yield strength. Complete joint penetration groove welds secure the top and bottom continuity plates to the wide-flange column web and flanges. Weld access holes follow specific geometric radii and proportions relative to the beam flange thickness per seismic detailing requirements.
