About this detail

Steel column cap plates are welded to the top of structural steel columns using quarter-inch fillet welds. Three standard configurations are provided, labeled SCP-1, SCP-2, and SCP-3, to accommodate varying framing and connection conditions. Dimensions include a minimum half-inch setback for dimension A, one and a half inches for dimension B, the gauge of the connected member for dimension C, and a variable width D determined by the column or beam width plus one inch or the bolt gauge plus three inches, whichever is greater. A general note mandates that all steel columns receive cap plate SCP-1 unless noted otherwise.
