This structural detail provides a schedule and cross-sections for moment frame beam-to-column connections using wide-flange shapes such as a W12x96 column and W16x50 beam. Section A-A and Section B-M illustrate the placement of doubler plates and continuity plates relative to the column web and flanges. Section C-C outlines dimensional parameters including k1 + 0.5 inches and k + 1.5 inches. Plate thicknesses are specified with continuity plates at one-half inch and shear plates at three-eighths of an inch, while doubler plates are determined per elevation in accordance with AISC 358-16 standards.
