In this drawing, you can see the beams linked together by steel chords that connect through holes pre-drilled or cast in the vertical column (A). There are welds that occur at steel plates imbedded in the beam and column where the plates are linked by a steel angle welded between the two members (B). After the welds are complete, the steel chords are grouted over (C).
