About this detail

An existing steel beam is reinforced below with a WT shape welded to the bottom flange using continuous partial joint penetration welds at the ends and intermittent stitch plates along the span. Stitch plates measuring three-eighths by two by six inches are spaced at twelve inches on center each side and staggered. End plates are added at each end of the WT shape with lengths specified per schedule. Stitch plates may be omitted where the gap is less than one-quarter inch.
