This structural steel detail shows a column framing perpendicular to a continuous beam member, featuring a three-quarter-inch thick bearing plate sized to the column flange width plus one inch by the column depth plus one inch. The connection is secured with four three-quarter-inch diameter bolts arranged at the beam gauge. A column cap plate matches the bearing plate size, and partial-height three-eighths-inch stiffener plates aligned with the column web are welded to the beam web with typical quarter-inch fillets on both sides. A plan section view confirms the alignment and edge clearances of the bolted connection.
