What side of the steel column should be connected to the primary steel beam?

I just want to do the structure of a building I designed to look as close to reality as possible. I have a shorter column span in one direction and a longer  column span going on the other direction. I want to place a primary steel beam on the longer span, and a secondary joist system on the short span. But I don't know which is the most common way to connect the primary beam with the steel column, should it be on the flange or on the web of the steel column? (note that the primary beam will take the load of the floor slab  through the secondary joist system )

 

On the image below I selected one primary beam ( marked in blue ) and I connected it to the web of the column. Is that how it supposed to be? or could it be connected on either web or flange? which one is more common?

Short answer, Flange.

 

A quick lesson from Dr. Google: https://www.engr.mun.ca/~adluri/courses/steel/ppt%20files1/Topic%20-Connections%20-typical%20joints....

 

Good luck,
