Beam-to-Column Welded Connection

About this detail

This structural steel connection details a wide-flange beam framing into a wide-flange column utilizing a welded shear plate. The beam web connects to the plate with three bolts and a fillet weld, while the beam flanges connect to the column via complete joint penetration welds with weld access holes. The plate thickness is specified as the beam web thickness minimum with a five-eighths inch minimum at the column web. Specific clearances and tolerances govern the weld access hole geometry, fillet weld sizes ranging from one-quarter to one-half inch, and edge distances.
