column weak axis, is present in these connections as shown in Figs. 2.46
through 2.49. The column may need to be designed for this moment.
A special skewed connection is often required when there is another
o
beam framing to the column flange at 90 . If the column flange is not
wide enough to accommodate a side-by-side connection, a bent plate
can be shop welded to the column with matching holes for a second
beam as shown in Fig. 2.50. The plate weld is sized for the eccentricity,
e , plus any requirement for development of fill plate in the orthogonal
2
connection, and the column sees an eccentric moment due to e , which
y
is equal to e in this case.
