About this detail

A single-sided or one-sided shear tab connection frames steel beams into a structural steel column flange. The connection utilizes a shear tab welded to the column flange and bolted to the beam web using ASTM A325N bolts, with ASTM F1852 twist-off tension control bolts permitted as substitutes. Bolt holes are sized one-sixteenth inch greater than the bolt diameter unless noted otherwise. When high shear loads require bolts spaced in two rows, the maximum number of bolts is placed in the first row nearest the connection while the balance is symmetrically spaced in the second column with three-inch typical spacing. Edge distances range from one-and-one-half inches minimum to one-and-three-quarters inches maximum, with vertical load capacities based on LRFD values from AISC thirteenth edition table ten dash nine a.
