A steel connection joins an HSS column and an HSS beam. The top flange of the beam is secured with an L3x3x1/4 angle welded with a three-sixteenths-inch fillet weld to the column, specified with toe only welding. The bottom of the beam rests on a three-eighths-inch bent plate seat measuring eight inches long, equipped with a five-sixteenths-inch stiffener plate. The connection is fastened using two rows of three three-quarter-inch diameter bolts with a five-and-a-half-inch gage. A one-half-inch clearance is maintained between the beam end and the column face.
