About this detail

A typical gravity column splice for structural steel framing features the upper column section resting upon the lower column, aligned with filler plates as required and secured by partial-joint-penetration welds with t/2 sizing. Channel sections are specified on each side depending on column size, using C6x10.5 for W8 columns, C7x12.25 for W10 columns, and C9x15 for W12 columns and above. The connection incorporates an optional lifting hole and 3/4-inch diameter A325 bolts with two washers each typical, alongside weld access holes as detailed.
