A structural steel framing condition features a seismic gap spanning between floor slabs supported by steel beams. Steel braces connect to the underside of the beam assembly with gusset plates and bolted connections. Slab edge distances and seismic joint cover requirements vary based on the dimension from the centerline of the beam, referencing architectural drawings for specific joint cover and maximum distance criteria.
