ANSI/AISC 358: Section 5.3 Prequalification Limits for RBS Column depth: up to W36 for wide-flange up to 24-inches for box columns
Beam connected to column flange (connections to column web not prequalified) Refer to Chapter 2 and AISC Seismic Provisions for other requirements
ANSI/AISC 358:
Beam web to column connection: - For SMF, use fully welded web connection (CJP weld between beam web and column flange) - For IMF, bolted connection to beam web permitted if slip-critical and follows restrictions in Section 5.6

End-Plate Connections
Number of possible limit states: Flexural yielding of beam section Flexural yielding of end plates Tension of end-plate bolts Shear failure of end-plate bolts Etc. Ensure inelastic deformation of connection is achieved by beam yielding Shear resistance from bolts in compression

(ANSI/AISC 358-10)
No limit on weight per foot of beams or columns Clear span:depth 7 or greater for SMF, 5 or greater for IMF Column depth limited to beam depth or shallower (also W36 maximum) Protected zone depends on stiffened/unstiffened, beam flange width and depth
(IMF composite slab detailing also adopts these last two requirements; Section 6.9.6)
Welding details, etc., in Section 6.9 (need and requirements for) Continuity plates as outlined in Section 6.10 (Design Procedure) and AISC Seismic Provisions Panel zones and column-beam moment ratios (Section 6.6) refer to AISC Seismic
BFP only prequalified for SMF with concrete structural slabs if slab kept at least 1 from both sides of both column flanges.
