A wide flange beam connects to a moment frame or drag beam using a full-height shear connection plate sized per schedule. One slip-critical bolt is added at the top and bottom, with a full row of bolts utilized at drag and moment frame beams. A stiffener plate matching the thickness of the connection plate is provided on the supporting member. Beams ranging from W16 minimum to W21 maximum are accommodated for one-sided conditions.
