A full depth shear plate connects a non-braced frame beam to a frame beam web, utilizing high-strength bolts sized per the structural schedule. The shear plate thickness varies by beam depth "D", specified as seven-sixteenths of an inch for depths under twenty-four inches and nine-sixteenths of an inch for depths over twenty-seven inches, applied to each side of the girder. Beam flanges are coped as required, maintaining a "K" distance per the AISC manual. Fillet welds secure the connection components, with sizing specified as five-sixteenths of an inch for depths under twenty-four inches and three-eighths of an inch for depths over twenty-seven inches.
