About this detail

A column splice connection features a base plate sized per the structural column schedule and vertical stiffener plates welded to each side of the column web. The stiffener plates match the width of the beam flange and are fitted to bear against the plates above and below. Four bolts secure the assembly with a workable gage determined by AISC standards, and five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds join the components typically. A maximum clearance of one-half inch is maintained above the toe of the fillet, with larger plates provided if required by incoming beam connections.
