Abstract
Description
- This invention (structure and methodology) pertains to structural weld preparation in the context of a connective interface between the end of an I-beam, and a beam-attaching end component that is used to connect the beam to a column in a building frame structure.
- When, in the construction of a steel building frame, such as a frame for a multi-story building, the end of an I-beam is anchored to the side of a column, it is typical for a weld connection to be made directly between that beam end and appropriate adjoining beam-end connecting structure. In preparation for establishing such a weld, it is also typical that material is removed from the long transverse edges of the flanges at the end of an I-beam to create weld-material-receiving troughs for use when the beam ends are brought into appropriate close relationship with the beam-end structure to which weld-attachment is intended. Additionally, run-on and run-off tabs are usually added to extend the trough ends to insure a full weld section over the full width of a flange. Also, it is customary that back-up bars are added to assist in the achieving of a full-section weld, and to prevent molten weld material from flowing through the joint region at the end of a beam.
- This practice involving the use of added tabs and back-up bars creates additional steps of preparation for welding material, adds to construction costs, and can lead to further expense where such tabs and bars must ultimately be removed, as by grinding away, to eliminate potential stress-riser regions in the vicinity of a weld.
- The present invention addresses these issues in a simple, effective and practical manner.
- A preferred and best-mode embodiment of, and manner of practicing, the invention involve the creation of elongate, weld-material-receiving troughs in beam-attaching end components to which beam ends are to be welded, rather than in beam-end flanges per se. These troughs are positioned so as to confront directly, and to align with, an I-beam's flanges, and the troughs are prepared with lengths which include opposite end regions that extend laterally beyond the lateral edges of the beam's flanges. These end regions function as run-on and run-off regions for molten weld material, and do so in a manner which obviates the need for any added run-out, etc. tabs.
- In a modified form of the invention the mentioned trough end regions are formed in such a fashion that they form walled, containment pockets for molten weld material.
- These and other features and advantages which are offered and attained by the structure and methodology of the present invention will become more fully apparent as the detailed description which now follow is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a simplified, fragmentary, isometric view showing a portion of a building frame structure which includes an upright column to which four elongate I-beams are shown connected through beam-attaching end components that are joined to the illustrated ends of these beams by a connection interface which include a beam end weld preparation prepared in accordance with practice of the present invention. -
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail showing generally the central portion ofFig. 1 . -
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken generally along the line 3-3 inFig. 2 . -
Fig. 4 is a further enlarged, fragmentary isometric view illustrating the end of one beam and one attached end component. -
Fig. 5 is a still further enlarged, fragmentary view taken generally as indicated byarrow 5 inFig. 4 . -
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view taken generally along the line 6-6 inFig. 5 , and wherein certain portions of structure are removed in order to contain the overall size of the figure. -
Figs. 7 and 8 are enlarged views somewhat likeFigs. 4 and 6 , respectively, illustrating a modified form of the invention. - Beginning with
Figs. 1-3 , inclusive, in the drawings, indicated generally at 10 is a portion of a plural-story building frame including upright hollow, square cross section columns, one of which is shown fragmentarily at 12, horizontal interconnecting 1-beams, four of which are shown fragmentarily at 13, 14, 15, 16, and sets of inner and outer, moment and gravity load-transmitting, collar structures, such as those illustrated at 18, that function to form nodal connections between columns and beams. The long axis ofcolumn 12 is shown at 12a. The respective long axes ofbeams - In each collar-structure set, an inner collar, such as
inner collar 18a is joined as by welding, in a circumsurrounding fashion, to the four outside faces ofcolumn 12, and seated thereon, through male-female, gravity-lock mating substructures (not specifically detailed herein) is an outer collar, such asouter collar 18b, which is comer-clamped to and around the associated inner collar. The specific details of these collar structures do not form any part of the present invention. Relevant to the present invention, however, is the fact thatouter collar 18b, or if a collar structure is not here employed, some other nodal connecting form using a generally planar beam-end end component, is made up of four generally planar components , such ascomponent 18c, which form, and are referred to herein as, beam-attaching end components that are welded to I-beam ends via weld preparations which are made in accordance with the invention. These weld preparations, which are filled with weld material (as illustrated inFigs. 2 and 3 ), are shown generally (and only schematically) as darkenedfeatures 19 inFigs. 2 and 3 . The locations where these weld connections exist constitute what is referred to herein collectively as a connective interface. As will now become more apparent, the exact construction of such beam-attaching end components is not critical to practice of the present invention, except for the facts that (a) each such component presents a generally planar beam-attaching facial side (or expanse), such asside 18d, to an I-beam end, and that (b) this side is characterized with a beam-facing expanse which spans what is referred to herein as the end footprint of an I-beam which is to be welded to the component. (See beam footprint designated generally F inFig. 3 ). - The weld preparations (19) proposed by the present invention are now described with specific reference only to
beam 13, and to thesingle end component 18c which is so labeled in the drawing figures. There are two such weld preparations and connections provided for each I-beam end, and two of these preparations and connections, an upper one and a lower one, are shown in detail forbeam 13 inFigs. 2-6 , inclusive. Very specifically one preferred and best-mode (embodiment) form of a weld preparation made in accordance with the invention is shown in these figures. For simplicity of illustration and description,beam 13 andend component 18c are shown in different orientations inFig. 4 than they are inFigs. 1 and 2 . - Focusing attention especially on
Fig. 4-6 , inclusive, here two weld preparations (with welds) are shown at 19 between I-beam 13 andend component 18c with its beam-attaching facial side, or expanse, 18d. The entire end surfaces, or expanses, ofbeam 13 are planar, and lie in a common plane 22 (seeFigs. 5 and 6 ) which is substantially normal to the beam'slong axis 13a. No flange material is removed. - Formed appropriately in
end component 18c to which the shown end ofbeam 13 is welded are upper and lower weld-material-receivingtroughs beam 13. Preferably,troughs Fig.4 ), which is greater than the defined, common lateral dimensions L3 (see alsoFig. 4 ) of the beam flanges. An important consequence of this is thattroughs trough 24, that extend laterally beyond the lateral edges of the beam's flanges. These regions function, in accordance with the invention, as run-on and run-out regions, or zones, or pockets, for receiving, along with the remainders oftroughs regions - Each of
troughs end regions - Not shown in the drawings, and not forming part of the present invention, are additional welds which join opposite vertical sides of
web 13b to thefacial expanse 18d in the vertical region between the weld preparations. Modestly shown at 29 inFig. 6 are appropriate fillet welds which are suitably created in the regions generally shown. - Practice of the invention to create the structure of the invention so far described herein can be expressed as including the steps of:
- (a) preparing a beam end so that its two flanges lie in a substantially common plane which is normal to the beam's long axis;
- (b) preparing an end component's beam-attaching facial side with upper and lower, elongate, weld-material-receiving troughs which will confront the beam's flanges;
- (c) positioning the prepared beam end and the prepared end component appropriately relative to one another; and
- (d) producing weld connections by filling the troughs with molten weld material in a manner which joins the beam and end component.
- A more detailed expression of a selectable additional step involves creating the mentioned troughs to have lengths which are greater than the widths of the confronting beam's flanges, thus to provide run-on and run-off regions for molten weld material.
- During welding, preferably a beam end and an end component are oriented so as to take advantage of gravity in weld formation. A is weld thus preferably first formed in a weld preparation along the length of one beam flange, and then the united beam and end component are rotated 180° about the beam's long axis to accommodate the making of a weld in the other weld preparation along the length of the other flange.
- A somewhat modified form and practice of the present invention are illustrated in
Figs. 7 and 8 ., In this form of the invention, a beam-attaching end component, again identified with thereference designation 18c, is prepared with a somewhat differently configured pair of upper and lower weld preparations with troughs, such astrough 30. The thus differentiated, alternative shape of each trough 30 (as compared totroughs 24, 26) is clearly illustrated in these two figures. Whereas previously describedtroughs end regions comparable regions trough 30.Regions walls end component 18c. These walls are spaced along a line, such asline 32, which is substantially normal to thenominal plane 18e (seeFig. 8 ) ofend component 18c. - Preferably, a short length L1 (see
Fig. 8 ) of the beam'scentral web 13b is removed to provide aweb recess 13c. This recess furnishes clearance for the beam's flanges to extend conveniently into the weld preparation troughs, and over shelves, such asshelf 30e (seeFig. 8 ) intrough 30. In this arrangement, of course, the end expanse ofweb 13b is not coplanar with the end expanses of the two flanges. - In this modification of the invention, no I-beam flange is removed to accommodate welding. Again, no added run-off tabs are required, or employed.
- Another form of the invention, useable with both modifications thereof as so far described, involves the creation of an elongate vertical channel in the face of a beam end component, extending between and opening at opposite ends to the two prepared weld-preparation troughs (upper and lower), and possessing a lateral width which will accommodate the free insertion of a beam's central web (like
web 13b). In such a form, the entire end of a beam can lie in a common plane, and the flanges will extend over regions in the two troughs which are like just mentionedshelf 30e. - An added practice step involved with this modified form of the invention is that the weld preparation troughs are preformed, at each end, with spaced walls that define a walled cavity which accommodates start-up and run-out of molten weld material.
- Accordingly, while preferred and best-mode implementations of, and manners of practicing, the invention have been described and illustrated, it is appreciated that other variations and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
- The present invention will now be described by way of reference to the following clauses:
