Steel cap plates sit atop hollow structural section columns to provide a bearing surface and connection point for framing members. Three distinct configurations, designated as SCP-1, SCP-2, and SCP-3, outline sizing criteria relative to the supported beam or girder width and gage dimensions. Dimensional callouts establish edge distances, bolt locations, and overall plate widths for each type. These standard details guide fabricators and ironworkers on plate geometry and fastener layouts for column-to-beam connections.
