The web-bolted moment connection joins steel wide-flange beams per plan using connector plates and high-strength bolts. For a W16 beam designation, the assembly incorporates a 5/8-inch plate secured by two by four arrays of 7/8-inch diameter bolts totaling eight bolts per connection. The connection utilizes a 3/8-inch weld designated as 'E'. Dimensioning calls out typical vertical bolt spacing at 3 inches with edge distances of 1 3/4 inches, alongside horizontal spacings of 2 1/2 inches, 6 inches, and 2 inches.
