A plan view details the configuration of stiffener and continuity plates at a structural steel beam or column connection. Bolt holes in the connection lugs are specified as standard holes. Continuity plate thickness is determined by adding one-eighth inch to the beam flange thickness, with a five-eighths continuity plate fillet weld size. Welds on stiffener and continuity plates are placed away from the column k-areas, maintaining a one-half inch maximum and one-and-one-half inch minimum fillet weld holdback.
