To summarize, the main reason for vertical arrangment of bolts is the available length for bolt group, where usually the beam is deeper than the column.

So in elevation view, the bolt can be arranged in horizontal arrangment (i.e. where beam on top of column) instead of typical vertical arrangment (i.e. where beam besides of column) depending the space available?

The examples of bolted connection I could put my hands on are showing end of steel beam bolted to a steel column in a vertical manner.
My question is, given a situation where a square steel frame, loaded in all four sides, vertical loading is higher than the lateral loading, is it not...
