Fig. 26.21 Column splice with ends prepared for bearing – different serial size<br />

Typical details for this type of column splice are shown in Figs 26.20 and 26.21.<br />

In both cases the splice is constructed using web and flange cover plates, and packs<br />

are used to make up any differences in the thicknesses of the web and the flanges.<br />

The flange cover plates may be placed on either the outside or the inside of the<br />

column. Placing the cover plates on the inside has the advantage of reducing the<br />

overall depth of the column.<br />

Each column splice must be designed to carry axial compressive forces, the<br />

tension (if any) resulting from the presence of bending moments and any horizontal<br />

shear forces.
