About this detail

A hollow structural section column receives incoming steel beams through a slotted knife plate connection. The knife plate features high-strength bolts sized and spaced per structural plans, with typical edge distances and bolt row spacings clearly indicated. A half-inch thick cap plate is provided at the column top where applicable, and fillet welds secure the plates with sizes referenced on the drawings. Beams maintain a maximum one-inch clearance from the column face as shown.
