Moment Connection Backer Bar Removal Requirements
Moment Connection Backer Bar Removal Requirements
(OP)
Is there a requirement that moment connection beam flange backer bars be removed?
If so, do the welds require a specific treatment or reinforcing?
The applicable general code for the project is IBC 2009 in the USA.
Any references on the topic would be helpful.

I'd have to reread it myself before summarizing to ensure that I got it right.
