This structural detail shows a bolted chord splice connecting a deeper chord to a shallower chord member. Outside flange plates bridge the chord transition with four bolts per row at each flange and typical 5-inch spacing. A web plate is positioned between the nearest inside faces of the flanges, utilizing multiple rows of bolts governed by a schedule with 4-inch on-center spacing and a 2-1/2-inch stagger. Centerline splice marks align the connection while dimensional callouts establish edge distances and fastener spacing.
