About this detail

This detail specifies the geometric requirements and dimensional tolerances for a structural steel weld access hole cut into the web of a member. The width of the hole is defined as the greater of 1.5 times the web thickness or one and one-half inches with a tolerance of plus one-quarter inch, while the height must be the greater of 1.5 times the web thickness or one inch, not exceeding two inches. Slopes 'a' and 'b' form the smooth transition from the web to the flange, with slope 'b' permitted to be horizontal and the bottom of the top flange contoured for backing bar fit. All welding and beveling must comply with the applicable welding procedure specification, and the finished access hole requires magnetic particle or liquid penetrant testing.
