About this detail

A bolted shear tab connection frames a steel beam into a perimeter beam flange. A full-height shear tab is welded to the support with a one-quarter inch fillet weld, designed per the AISC manual distance requirements. For W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams, a half-inch plate is provided at the bottom with one additional bolt when the clearance is four inches or greater, while rectangular plates remain optional. For W16 and deeper beams, the full-height shear tab connects directly to the web without slotted holes, maintaining specified AISC "K" dimensions. All connections restrict slotted holes to steel and require standard unslotted fabrication.
