Mislocated Bearing Stiffener

Main Member Type: Rolled Beam, plate girder
Attached Member/ Detail Type: Plate Girder
Error Type: Bearing stiffener misalignment
Description of Error: Bearing stiffeners welded in place out of plumb. Kick is 1 15/16" in lieu of 15/16".
Solution Recommended:

Sketch

Since bottom location of stiffener above the sole plate is correct
and out of plumbness was less than 5%,
stiffener was left in place and a shim used to bolt cross frame to stiffener.
Required Final Checks / Verification: Since bottom location of stiffener above the sole plate is correct
and out of plumbness was less than 5%,
stiffener was left in place and a shim used to bolt cross frame to stiffener.
Was Repair Successful ?: Yes.
Other Possible solutions: Avoid removal unless absolutely needed so can avoid air arc gouging
and grinding in the high stress bearing area.
1) If bottom location of stiffener is within middle 50% of sole plate,
leave stiffener as is and check plumbness. If out of plumb more than 5%,
weld additional stiffeners to create a shear panel
(space new stiffeners between 6" and 12" on center.
New stiffeners half the thickness of bearing stiffeners).
Check cross-frame connection clearance.
2) If bottom location of stiffener is not within middle 50% of sole plate,
add 2nd bearing stiffener.
