The steel beam connects to the column flange using a shear tab where required, supplemented by a top cap plate and internal continuity plates. The cap plate thickness is specified as the greater of flange thickness one plus one-quarter inch or flange thickness two plus one-quarter inch, with a one-inch minimum. Continuity plates are sized using the larger of flange thickness one or flange thickness two per detail E. Welds tie the cap plate to the top and bottom flanges typically.
