About this detail

A steel beam connects to a supporting steel column and girder assembly utilizing a steel cap plate sized per plan and schedule. The drop-in beam rests on the cap plate and is secured with bolts, supplemented by a beam web stiffener or connection plate on each side. A field note specifies that if any bolt hole fails to align, the beam must be field welded to the cap plate using a quarter-inch by three-inch fillet weld on both sides.
