A steel beam frames into the web of a structural column using a bolted shear plate connection, leaving a half-inch clearance at the column face. A five-eighths-inch cap plate is welded to the top of the column with five-sixteenths welds on three sides, noting no weld in the k-area inside the profile. The shear plate thickness is specified as three-eighths inch for five and fewer bolts, and five-eighths inch for more than five bolts, with specific sizes referenced to a schedule.
