A skewed beam connects to a supporting column web or flange using a single plate or shear tab detailed per schedule. The framing angle ranges from thirty to sixty degrees, with one and one half inch clearances and specific edge dimensions noted. Additional notes direct the user to alternate details when angles exceed sixty degrees. A companion detail shows a skewed beam framing into another beam using similar bolted connection geometry and weld specifications.
