About this detail

A structural steel beam connects to a column flange through a shop-welded shear plate and field-installed high-strength bolts. The shear plate thickness and bolt size, diameter, and type are determined by schedule, with high-strength bolts spaced at three inches vertically and two bolt diameters minimum from the plate edge. The weld sizing is scheduled, maintaining a one-and-a-half-inch minimum vertical clearance from the plate edge, and the weld begins and terminates one weld leg size from the top and bottom of the plate. A three-quarter-inch minimum clearance is maintained between the beam web and column face, with the top of steel positioned one inch above the top of the column where applicable.
