About this detail

A structural connection reinforces an existing built-up steel column and wide-flange girder assembly using ASTM A572 Grade 50 steel plates and threaded rods. One-half-inch thick plates are added to build out the existing beam web, secured with five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds. One-inch diameter ASTM A572 Grade 50 threaded rods are positioned at the top and bottom of the existing beam flanges, passing through drilled holes in the existing column web with a maximum one-sixteenth-inch oversize and welded all around with five-sixteenth-inch fillets. Additional half-inch plates are welded to the existing column flange with half-inch and five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds typical at beam web to column flange connections.
