A continuous wide-flange steel beam bears directly on a three-quarter-inch steel plate welded to a hollow structural section column sized per plan. The connection utilizes four three-quarter-inch diameter A325N bolts typically unless otherwise noted, with a plate width matching the beam flange width. One-half-inch stiffener plates are welded to each side of the beam web using three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides per American Institute of Steel Construction specifications.
