About this detail

Geometric dimensional criteria for a beam web weld access hole and connecting shear plate at a steel column flange. The shear plate overlap with the weld access hole must maintain dimension a from one-quarter inch minimum to one-half inch maximum. Dimension b requires a one-inch minimum clearance. The angle c must fall between twenty and forty degrees. The shear plate extension beyond the end of the weld access hole, dimension d, requires a two-inch minimum. The distance from the end of the shear plate or beam web fillet weld to the edge of the weld access hole, dimension e, ranges from one-half inch minimum to one inch maximum.
