About this detail

A standard beam-to-girder shear connection features a shear plate welded to the supporting girder web and bolted to the supported beam web. Schedule C specifies minimum plate thicknesses, ASTM A325 slip-critical bolt diameters, and minimum fillet weld sizes corresponding to various beam sizes from W10 or less up to W36. Notes indicate requirements for full-height stiffener plates based on framing conditions such as single-side beam connections, rigid frame girders, and offset beams. Two rows of bolts are provided as required by the schedule with standard edge distances and spacings.
