About this detail

A standard framing connection joins a steel beam web to a supporting member via a welded shear plate and bolted web fasteners. The shear plate thickness and bolt quantity and size are sized per schedule "A", with bolts spaced at three inches on center. The plate is field-welded to the support, which may consist of an embed plate, beam web, column flange, or retrofit plate. A one-half-inch gap is maintained between the beam end and the support.
