About this detail

An HSS beam connects to an HSS column or embed plate utilizing a three-quarter-inch three-bolt shear plate and a welded three-eighths-inch end plate. The end plate depth matches the beam depth, while its width matches the beam width plus one and a half inches. A three-sixteenths-inch fillet weld secures the HSS beam to the end plate top and bottom, with an optional one-inch extension secured by a three-sixteenths-inch fillet weld at the contractor's discretion. Additional quarter-inch by eight-inch plates are welded top and bottom to the column with three-sixteenths-inch fillet welds, required at all locations where the HSS beam supports exterior cladding. Typical weep holes are provided at exterior conditions.
