About this detail

An incoming steel beam connects to the web of a supporting frame beam using a full-height shear tab welded to each side of the web. The shear tab thickness matches the frame beam web thickness with a three-eighths inch minimum. Bolted connections feature unslotted holes into the steel. For W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams, a one-half inch bottom plate is included with an optional rectangular plate configuration and an additional unslotted bolt when specific dimensional clearances apply. For W16 and deeper beams, the full-height shear tab connects directly across the web depth without a bottom plate.
