About this detail

A tapered steel beam frames into a continuous steel girder supported by a hollow structural section column. Continuity plates are provided at the connection, with a typical thickness equal to the beam flange thickness plus one-sixteenth of an inch. Web stiffeners are installed on both the near side and far side typical. Complete joint penetration welds on three sides secure the connection. An angle measuring three by three by one-quarter inch at twenty-four inches on center provides support for steel studs or curtain walls, allowing for one inch of maximum deflection and story drift.
