Subject: SMF connection
At the roof level of a multistory SMF, The City of L.A quality assurance
plans shows the top of the column to be three inches higher than the top
of the beam framing into it, and I can not find that in the seismic
provisions, anybody know the reason for those extra 3" and whether they
are required or merely recommended?
Thanx in advance
