Steel Beam to Steel Beam at Steel Column Residential Connection

[reverbz]

Hey guys,

I have a steel I beam meeting a continuous perpendicular steel I beam at a steel HSS column detail on a residential job I'm drawing up. Just wondering what you residential folks thing is best in this scenario. I'm leaning a metal plate on top of the column the beam can sit on and be welded to. Would you do something else?

Thank you!

My only suggestion would be to make it a bolted cap plate connection.

Agreed. I would do the same in case if the beams are at the top storey . In case of mid storeys i would prefer to keep the columns continuous .

I just write ( GOOD AND BAD DETAILING) and searched the web. One of the outcomes ,
