About this detail

A wide-flange beam connects to the weak axis of a wide-flange supporting column using top and bottom stiffener plates paired with shear plates. Stiffener plate thicknesses are specified as one-half inch at one-quarter inch shear plates, and three-quarters of an inch at three-eighths inch shear plates. Plate size and bolting follow schedule requirements referenced on sheet 6/S-503. Flange width dimensions dictate specific edge distances and sizing rules, including four inches when the flange width is between nine and one-half and eleven and one-half inches, five inches up to thirteen and one-half inches, and six inches for wider flanges.
