About this detail

A structural beam bears onto a top plate secured to the top of an HSS column, with clearance dimensions of 1/2 inch minimum at round-shaped beam ends and 1 inch minimum at square or rectangular shaped ends. Where an intersecting beam occurs, the shear plate extends to the bottom flange on each side. Where no intersecting beam occurs, a 1/4 inch by d/2 minimum stiffener plate is provided on each side, welded with 1/4 inch fillet welds. A 5/16 inch typical fillet weld secures the top bearing plate connection to the HSS column.
