About this detail

A three-quarter-inch thick by nine-inch wide ASTM A572 Grade 50 plate passes through a slot cut in the web of the existing column, oversized by one-sixteenth of an inch all around. The connection is detailed with five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on all three accessible sides on both sides of the column web. The existing column flange is built out using a ripped hollow structural section measuring twelve by four by five-eighths, or an alternate five-eighth-inch C-shaped bent plate, welded all around to the column flange and web with a five-sixteenth-inch fillet weld. A half-inch plate connects to the existing column flange typically.
