About this detail

A drag beam frames into a continuous hollow structural section column using a three-eighths-inch plate extending through a slot in the column. The drag beam flanges remain uncoped, featuring a five-sixteenths-inch weld on three sides and a three-sixteenths-inch weld as typical. Two seven-eighths-inch-diameter A325 erection bolts secure the connection utilizing slotted holes in the plate and standard holes in the beam. A plate length table is included to size dimensions L and B based on the specific beam size, ranging from W10 up to W21 shapes. Stiffener plates shown are only applied where no plate is already required by frame connections.
