Gap in End Plate Moment Connection
Gap in End Plate Moment Connection
(OP)
Greetings,
There's approximately 6mm gap between the beam end plate and HSS column. The End Plate is supposed to be site welded to the steel column and the joint is subjected to moment and shear forces. What's the proper way to fill the gap and weld the beam to column?
Thanks

Shall i weld the shim with full penetration to the plate which in turn will be welded to the column with required fillet weld size (8mm all around). Is it a good practice? and do you have a better suggestion?

If manhandling it into position is not an option, cut the original end plate off, add a thicker one.
