Hello everyone, I’ve come across a question while designing a w-column web-to-beam shear connection, and I couldn’t find a specific reference in the AISC handbook to clarify this. I’d really appreciate any insights. Context: • Column: W12X72 • Beam: W33X118 • Connection: Extended shear plate...

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on/detailing an X-braced configuration, and I've encountered a situation where one of the braces will be discontinuous at the intersection. I'm trying to figure out the details of this intersection. Specifically, I'm wondering about the thru-plate that...

Hey All, Hope you are all good. I'm working on a beam-over-column connection with a 4" wide beam (W12x19). The beam has a 2 1/4" gauge, and I'm considering using 3/4" Ø bolts. Can you advise if this bolt size is suitable for this beam considering only the edge distance which is 7/8"? As J3.4...

Hi all, I am working on a deck detailing job, Is it acceptable to offset headed studs from the centerline of a beam in composite slab construction, given that the deck is stopped at the beam centerline and cell closures are used? Thanks in advance!!

Hi All, This is the concern regarding the filler shims at the (w-shape Gr.50-A992) moment connection bottom where flange plates are fastened using 3/4 dia A325 Bolts. The steel fabricator advised me to provide a 3/16" gap for galvanizing process and 1/8" for erection clearance. I just wonder as...

Hi All, Just need a general clarification on a structural note that mentions bolted collector connection (at steel beam to steel column), I was unable to find any detail on contract documents, is this something related to the reactions of the beam? or Do I have to connect it for axial loads...

Hi All, Recently, My colleague detailed a deck where he scaled beam spacings on contract drawings and sent it for EOR approval. After a few days, He has received reviewed steel shops for co-ordination. Somehow, he missed the changes to incorporate it and sent it for field use (having 20 ft)...

Hey Guys, As we all know, in clip angle shear connection, the return weld 2t at the top allows the connection to rotate at ultimate load. But, if we are using the folded plate as a clip connection, is it fine to use 2t weld only at the top? 1. My intention says that I should use welded...

Hello All, I am currently working on the base plate connection at the braced bay column. I have a doubt that is it structurally acceptable to provide oversized holes in the base plate for braced bay columns (even with a plate washer that has an STD hole). I am under the impression that I...

Hey All, Please refer to the snap below, to be clear, Note 4 says all shown reactions in the plan are factored in. So can I design all connections according to LRFD? right Thanks in advance!!

Hey all, I had a doubt, is there any reason behind coping/cutting a steel angle ledge at veneer wall bearing and one more VSL hole in mid-span? Drop a line, please! Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys, me again, I have to provide a curved bent plate in a project and I'm pretty damn sure that's not possible in practice. Is there any other specific way to do this without losing strength? Thanks in advance!!

Hello guys, Please refer to the snap below, which option actually seems correct as I'm worried about beam slopes at the end if I weld a beam and cast-ins? Thanks in advance!!

Hello Guys, I have a suspicion, As I saw in the contract dwg, is it mandatory to provide "SSLH" on a single plate connection? Indicated as "short slotted holes shall be used" Thanks in advance!!

Hi All, I have been working with AISC standards for years and recently I had a suspicion, is the welded-bolted combination structurally acceptable? Especially for the moment connection when I got a detail from the engineer, the flange was welded but the web is bolted. I hope the web bolts should...

Guys, I need a clarification, joist frames into CMU wall and deck supported by joist at wall side, should we provide deck support this location or not needed? because deck is not supported continuously, also wall is not stopped at floor level, please provide your valuable comment's. Thanks in...

Hey Guys, I just came through the topic that HSS steel are filled with concrete for resist lateral load.. Is this structurally acceptable? Curious about interesting answers... Thanks in advance!!

Hey Guys, this may sound silly, I have a suspicion, Have you ever thought about this direct bearing splice connection? Is this structurally acceptable when two part connected with the bolted connection that one part allowing another part to bear itself directly on? Thanks in advance!!

As a Steel Detailer, I would like to know, What are the primary responsibility of steel detailer when details are missing? Thanks in advance!!

Hey Guys, Just for clarification, if unless otherwise noted 3/4"Ø A325 bolt would be fine for AISC and CISC, But EURO, AS/NZS prefers 5/8"Ø 8.8S, is this fine? Also, structural bolt to be galvanized. Thanks in advance!!
