Beam-to-Beam Welded Connection Bolted Connection

About this detail

A structural steel connection frames an incoming supported member B into a supporting member A where member A is greater than or equal to member B in depth. A connecting plate of thickness t is welded to the web of member A with fillet welds sized F, while the supported member B connects to the plate using n fully pretensioned bolts with hardened washers in standard holes. Clearances and edge distances include a one-inch maximum gap, a three-inch maximum top distance, and a one-half-inch minimum distance from the top of the connection plate to the k-distance of member A plus one-half inch maximum. General notes specify that standard holes are one-sixteenth inch greater than the bolt diameter, and similar conditions apply for beams framing into both sides of member A.
