About this detail

A vertical guard post is connected to the side of a structural steel beam via a quarter-inch plate centered on the post. Two half-inch diameter galvanized heavy hex A325 bolts secure the connection. Three-sixteenths inch fillet welds attach the plate to the structural beam web, which is reinforced with typical quarter-inch web stiffeners. Structural grating bears on the top flange of the beam adjacent to the post, maintaining a quarter-inch maximum gap. A toeboard is welded to the face of the guard post, and the pipe end is left open.
