About this detail

These structural details illustrate beam-to-column shear tab connections for both wide flange and hollow structural section columns. The configurations include standard shear plates welded to wide flange column flanges and webs, with option two incorporating three-eighths-inch top and bottom stiffener plates cropped at the corners to clear the column k-distance. HSS column connections utilize single-plate shear tabs or WT shapes with field welds sized per schedule A. Notes specify plate thicknesses, bolt counts, and restrictions on column wall thicknesses for standard shear tab applications.
