Learning Objectives • • •
•
List locations within a building structure where stiffener and doubler plates are utilized. Describe the cost implications of using stiffener and doubler plate details versus using larger member sizes. Describe how the responsibility of stiffener and doubler detailing is assigned on the project using guidelines provided in the 2016 AISC Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges. Explain how to communicate design responsibility in the contract documents. Explain how to properly design stiffener and doubler plates according to the 2016 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.

Doubler Configurations • Doubler configurations commonly used: Prepped, Flush, and Offset • For flush doublers: use (1) doubler if thickness < 1/2” to 5/8”. • Doubler hierarchy (flush and prepped configurations): 1. Place on side without shear connection 2. Place on side with smaller beam framing into column web • Consider shear beam framing into doubler

Cost of Doublers • Rule of Thumb (Per Seismic Design Manual): Upsizing columns between 50 to 100 lb/ft might still be more cost effective than installing doubler plates and continuity plates. • Cost of Steel = $800/ton average (FOB mill) ($881 for plate) http://stld-cci.com/ • Platts S&P Global is also a good source for price of steel Size

Stiffeners • Stiffener Clips – Gravity, Wind, and Seismic R=3 • Stiffeners should clear kdet and k1 • k-area (1-1/2” from k) is area of potentially lower notch toughness in rotarystraightened W-Shapes, see Commentary J10.8
Fig C-J10.8: Recommended placement of stiffener fillet welds to avoid contact with “k-area”
• Tests show a corner clip of 1-1/2” with fillets stopped short by (1) weld size can avoid this problem Fig C-J10.7:
Can reduce to ¾” at flanges for additional weld length
Representative “k-area” of wide-flange shape

Stiffeners • Seismic Stiffener clips – Seismic Provisions: • Reference AWS D1.8/D1.8M, Clause 4.1 – At web: Extend 1-1/2” min beyond kdet – At flange: Not to exceed 1/2” beyond k1 – Shall facilitate suitable weld termination – If curved, r = 1/2” min • Welding in the k-area should be avoided

Stiffeners and Doublers
Conclusion • Doublers are required to resist shear forces exceeding the panel zone shear strength • AWS D1.8/D1.8M: 2016 has a prequalified doubler weld configuration • Sufficient information is needed to check for web doublers • Increasing the column size to eliminate stiffeners and doublers can be cost effective • Stiffeners (also known as continuity plates) are required to resist applied loads greater than the local strength of the supporting member • Stiffener applicable limit states are in Specification Section J10
