About this detail

Top and bottom continuity plates are welded horizontally between the flanges of a steel column aligned with the incoming steel beam. Complete joint penetration welds or fillet welds sized to three-quarters of the plate thickness connect the continuity plates to the column web and flanges. Weld tabs are removed to one-quarter inch maximum from the plate edge and the weld ends are ground smooth without gouging the column flange. Welds within the column k-area require magnetic particle or liquid penetrant inspection.
