About this detail

The framing beam connects to the perimeter beam using a full-height shear tab sized per schedule, utilizing no slotted holes to steel. For W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams, a one-half-inch rectangular plate option is included at the bottom, along with an additional unslotted bolt when the distance is four inches or greater. For W16 and deeper beams, the full-height shear tab connection is detailed with a maximum four-inch dimension without the bottom plate requirement. AISC manual "K" distance clearances apply to the perimeter beam web and flange junctions.
