Steel continuity plates are positioned on both sides of the column web, with thicknesses determined by the connecting beam flanges. The assembly features an optional cope at the continuity plate and web intersection left unwelded, adhering to specific AISC k and k1 dimension requirements. Fillet welds attach the continuity plates to the column flanges typically, while the web connection specifies a plate thickness of tPL divided by 2. Dimensional callouts indicate clearance offsets from the column face and fillet weld symbols denote attachment configurations.
