moment connection
(OP)
I am in the process of designing a moment connection for wide flang beam. I have designed many bolted connections. However, this one is going to be welded, with about 1 to 2 inch gap between falnges and webs.
Does nay one one have a good reference and or design example to share? You input is greatly appreciated.

RE: moment connection
Could you clarify your question?
Is it a beam-to-column moment connection?
Where is the 1 to 2 inch gap?
Why is the gap so big?
If the gap is going to filled with the weld, how is the stresses produced by the cooling weld are going to be mitigated?
Regards

RE: moment connection
The AISC's Manual of Steel Construction, ASD, on page 4-100 shows a beam-to-column welded moment connection. I assume you could use that detail, slightly modified, to make the splice connection.
