Beam framing into continuous beam over HSS column (Moment Connection)
If there is no problem extending the bottom plate to the right of your sketch, extend the column up; provide a column cap plate doubling as the top moment connection plate for the 3 beams; provide a bottom moment plate extended on 4 sides. Design the width of the plate extending to the right of...- p_kefa
