About this detail

A steel framing beam connects to a supporting frame beam using a full-height shear tab on each side of the web, sized per schedule with a three-eighths inch minimum thickness matching the frame beam web. A one-half inch rectangular plate is welded to the bottom flange with a quarter-inch fillet weld and bolted to the supported beam web with no slotted holes. An additional bolt is added if the distance is less than four inches, while the bottom plate and bolt are omitted if the dimension is smaller. Clearances conform to the AISC Manual "K" dimensions.
