Shown in this image is a knee joint whereby a beam intersects with a column tranferring the roof load to the pad footing below. The connections seen here involve the use of stress tested bolts which are fixed into place on site relieving the necessity of welding. Note the absence of haunching and the use of horizontal stiffening plates in the column to prevent bending of the flanges.
