About this detail

An alternate full-depth connection detail connects a W8 or W10 steel beam to a supporting member using a plate of thickness t welded with a two-inch return at the top and bottom. The beam web is recessed with a six-inch cope dimension, maintaining a maximum clearance of one-half inch from the support face. Weld size F and plate thickness t are determined from the connection schedule, while dimension X determines applicability against alternative details. Four general notes outline contractor options, schedule references, and dimensional limits.
