About this detail

A wide flange steel beam connects to a steel column using complete joint penetration and fillet welds, with connection plates and specified bolt rows, within a seismic force-resisting system. Grade 50 continuity plates match the beam flange thickness plus one-eighth inch with a half-inch minimum. Weld access holes are detailed with specific edge clearances, and backing bars are removed, backgouged, and re-welded where required. A note explicitly prohibits welding the flange tip or k regions at wide flange members. Additional gusset plates and buckling-restrained braces connect per the engineering details shown.
