If I have a beam with a bolted moment connection on the flange of a column, say this beam is a W8X18 and it is welded to a 3/4" plate, and there are two sets of bolts above the beam flange and two set below the beam flange, just like a typical moment connection off the side of a column. Do I...
There are a few sentences in the steel manual about the MAXIMUM weld size. Are they talking about lap joints? I would figure, within reason, there is no maximum fillet weld for a typical butt connection, like a wide flange to a baseplate.
