About this detail

A side-plated wide flange beam assembly consists of a steel wide flange shape reinforced with side plates welded along the flange tips. The accompanying schedule lists specific member designations such as SPW30x148 and SPW30x173 alongside their corresponding wide flange sizes, plate thicknesses, and weld sizes. Grade and yield strength of the reinforcing plates must match the structural steel wide flange per the general notes. Plates may be stopped six inches from each end of the beam unless noted otherwise, and continuous welds are required at member ends over a length determined by the member width, depth, and plate width.
