About this detail

This structural steel connection details a moment frame beam framing into a frame column with a cap plate and continuous top and bottom plates. The beam web connects to the column flange using an erection plate secured with bolts and a five-sixteenths-inch fillet weld, along with a complete joint penetration weld. The beam flanges feature complete joint penetration welds at the top and bottom, with continuous plates on both sides matching the beam flange thickness plus one-half inch. The column cap plate width matches either the column or beam, whichever is larger, welded with partial joint penetration and five-sixteenths-inch fillet welds. Weld backing is removed and backgouged to sound weld metal with added fillet welds, or left in place with a five-sixteenths-inch continuous fillet weld at the contractor's option for non-brace gusset connections.
