About this detail

A structural steel shear tab connection joins a wide-flange beam to a wide-flange column using a vertical tab plate welded to the column flange and bolted to the beam web with bolts sized per schedule. A stiffened plate featuring a standard 'k' by 'k' chamfer is welded to the column flange on three sides and to the top and bottom of the tab plate. All steel plates conform to ASTM A36 unless otherwise noted, and the connection applies to W10 or larger columns. Fillet weld sizes for Weld A and Weld B vary by beam size according to the accompanying connection schedule.
