Standard welding configurations join built-up W-beams composed of a web plate and top and bottom flange plates. Continuous welds join the web plate to the flange plates, with options for specific root openings or edge preparations based on contractor preference. Dimensions indicate overall beam depth and flange width proportions, referencing standard AISC plate sizes. A specific note defines the web plate thickness divided by two for joint preparation tolerances.
