About this detail

An HSS6x4 post connects to a W12x35 edge beam with a horizontal channel using three-eighths-inch thick by three-inch by eight-inch side, top, and bottom tabs. The connection is welded with three-sixteenths-inch fillet welds on both sides, top, and bottom, featuring one-inch returns as specified. The top rail consists of an HSS6x2 member at an elevation of 132 feet 6 inches top of steel, while the edge beam top of steel is at 132 feet. A continuous sixteen-gauge by fourteen-inch wide cover plate fastened with number eight screws at eight inches on center per flute ties into the roof deck assembly. A shop fabrication note permits the beam, channel with tabs, post, and rails to be built as a single assembly for site delivery.
