Special Considerations
Moment Connections to Column Webs

Determining the design stiffness and strength for unreinforced wide-flange columns at locations of strong axis beam-to-column moment connection. Covers the design of column stiffening elements such as web doubler plates and transverse stiffeners (also known as continuity plates), when the unreinforced column strength and/or stiffness is inadequate. In both cases recommendations for economy are included.
