About this detail

A side plate connection for braced frame beams framing into steel columns or members includes a side plate thickness schedule matching beam sizes such as W24x176, W24x250, and W24x306. The side plate is aligned flush with the toe of the flange at both top and bottom edges, utilizing five-sixteenths inch fillet welds on each side. A bent plate measuring three-eighths of an inch coordinates its horizontal leg with the minimum deck bearing length for the concrete on metal deck construction. Slot connections accommodate incoming stair hangers and edge structural connections as indicated in the plans. Clearances are maintained for buckling-restrained braces, and contractors locate steel beams to meet deck edge overhang and clearance requirements.
