About this detail

A continuous shear plate passes horizontally through a slotted hollow structural section column to connect wide-flange beams on opposite sides. The column features a maximum slot width equal to the beam web thickness plus one-eighth inch, with a cap plate welded at the top. High-strength bolts fasten each beam web to the continuous shear plate using symmetrical vertical and horizontal spacing. Fillet welds secure the shear plate to the column walls, and a one-inch gap is maintained at seismic tie locations where required in both directions. The column above is shown dashed to indicate continuity.
