A steel plate aligning and uniting the flanges of two steel sections at a column splice. Horizontal surfaces in contact must be milled to provide full bearing areas. To avoid conflicting with beam and girder connections, a column splice is usually made two to three feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) above a floor level. (Ching, 1995)
