Column to Base Plate Welding Requirement by Canadian Code
(OP)
Hi Guys,
Is there and code requiremen for length of weld at column to base plate connections. We have a situation where fabricator provide 2 X 3" length weld on flanges of W310 column and webs are not welded. We havn't mention this before on drawings to be fully welded but what fabricator shall follow as per code regarding this conenction.

My standard detail shows full lenght fillet welds on the outside of the flange on one side and two shorter fillet welds on the inside of the opposite flange with web welds from the fillet of the web-flange interface.
The flange welds allow the column to be fabricated without turning it over.
