About this detail

Steel beams frame into opposite sides of a steel column using a welded shear plate and continuity stiffener plates. The shear plate connects to the beam web with three 7/8-inch diameter erection bolts, or two bolts for W8 and W10 profiles, with a plate thickness equal to the beam web thickness plus one-eighth inch. Stiffener plates on each side of the column web match the greater beam flange thickness plus one-eighth inch using 50 KSI steel, welded to the column web with a five-sixteenth-inch fillet weld and connected to the beam flange with a complete joint penetration weld. A weld access hole is provided at the beam web and flange intersection. Concrete over metal floor deck bears at the top of floor or roof level.
