Three connection cases define the positioning and welding requirements for top continuous plates and angles attached to structural steel wide flange shapes. Case six details an angle and plate connection governed by depth and fillet weld criteria. Case seven incorporates a bent plate and angle with a minimum clearance requirement. Case eight specifies placement limits near the top flange using a quarter-inch minimum dimension and three-sided fillet welds.
