About this detail

A structural steel beam frames into a steel column with a welded shear tab detailed per plan, accompanied by a bottom flange plate three-quarters of an inch minimum and a top flange plate five-eighths of an inch minimum. A gusset plate for a buckling-restrained brace connects to the top flange and column, with an optional gusset support required by the brace manufacturer. Stiffener plates matching the flange plate thickness are welded to the column web with either fillet welds or complete joint penetration welds. A three-eighths-inch doubler plate is fitted between the stiffeners and column flanges. Magnetic particle and ultrasonic testing requirements are specified for the welded assemblies.
