A structural steel beam features a coped top flange reinforced with structural angles on each side. The size of the angles varies depending on the beam depth and cope height, utilizing either L3 x 3 x 3/8, L2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 5/16, or L3 x 2 x 5/16 angles. Fillet welds of 3/16 inch or 5/16 inch attach the reinforcing angles based on the member dimensions. Dimensioning indicates a typical ten-inch length and variable dimensions as required by the section geometry.
