Grade 50 continuity plates are detailed for both strong axis and weak axis column connections with specific sizing formulas and dimensional clearances. Plate thickness is sized at three-quarters of the flange thickness, rounded up to the nearest one-sixteenth of an inch per notes. Dimensional callouts reference the column profile parameters k and k1 plus one-half inch for proper fit-up and weld sizing.
k1 + 1/2" k+ 1 1/2" SIZE = 3/4 x PL THICKNESS ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST 1/16" GR 50 CONTINUITY PL PER NOTES STRONG AXIS SIZE = 3/4 x PL THICKNESS ROUNDED UP TO NEAREST 1/16" GR 50 CONTINUITY PL PER NOTES WEAK AXIS k1 + 1/2" k + 1/2"
