Steel beams frame into a steel column utilizing a single plate connection for shear transfer and complete joint penetration welds at the beam flanges for moment transfer. Continuity plates matching the connecting beam flange thickness are provided inside the column web, with specific variations including slotted continuity plates and full-height plates. A five-sixteenths inch fillet weld is applied typically at the single plate connections. Weld access holes are detailed per standard structural requirements.
