Does Vulcraft have recommended moment connection details for joists and joists girders?
The most efficient detail allows for the top moment plate to be welded to the top chord of the joist or girder and the cap plate of the column. This requires the joist or girder seat to be supported by a haunch or seat angle. Additionally, the bottom chord extensions must be welded to the stabilizer plate on the column. The size of the top moment plate, seat angle or haunch, stabilizer plate and all required welds are to be determined by the specifying professional. For recommended details, refer to the Vulcraft Steel Joists and Joist Girders catalog.
