A ledger splice connection features a one-half-inch thick plate embedded with four number seven reinforcing bars measuring six feet long, connected via a three-quarter-inch gusset plate and three-eighths-inch fillet welds. An alternate section utilizes a WT7x21.5 structural tee with three number seven reinforcing bars measuring seven feet long tied with number six bent bars as required. A three-quarter-inch gap is maintained at the joint, with typical five-sixteenths fillet welds joining the steel components.
