90 degree Moment Connection
90 degree Moment Connection
(OP)
How would one go about detailing a moment connection for a beam and column connection. It is a relatively small frame for a all glass vestibule (11'x14') Do you think I could just specify a 45 degree mitre and groove weld the W8 (beam) and W6 (column)?
What have you guys done in this situation?

Check the column flanges and webs as required for stiffeners.

I had an architect suggest exactly the same thing so I steered them towards allowing 2 stiffeners in line with the inside flanges so that they form a rectangle. If theseare ground back and prepared as architecturalyposetell then it looks pretty good and works structurally.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Since it so small, they could probably just do all the welding in shop and it would be brought out as a single unit. Thanks again for the thoughts and feedback.
