This structural drawing details beveled shear tab connections for skewed beam framing conditions across five specific skew angle ranges from less than or equal to three and five-eighths inches in twelve up to thirty-three inches in twelve. The connection utilizes a single plate welded to the supporting member with specified fillet weld sizes ranging from one-quarter inch to five-eighths inch, alongside a backing bar for steeper skews. The supported beam web is bolted through the beveled shear tab with standard high-strength bolts, maintaining a two-and-one-half-inch edge distance and varying plate thicknesses denoted by t. Additional callouts indicate options for contractor-selected beveled shear tabs on shallow skews and specific bevel angles matching the geometric offset of the framing.
