This connection utilizes a vertical connection plate bolted to the web of a wide flange beam. The connection plate features two-inch long slotted holes to accommodate movement, while the beam web contains standard holes aligned to the centerline of the slots. Bolts are installed finger-tight with jam nuts or spalled threads to prevent loosening, maintaining a maximum clearance of one-half inch. The bolt spacing is set at three inches typical, with a minimum edge distance of one and one-half inches and a minimum distance of two and one-half inches from the beam flange. The specific number and size of bolts are determined by the typical connection schedule.
