Beam Splice Connection with Shear Tab and Channel Ledgers

About this detail

Two structural steel beams connect end-to-end utilizing a vertical shear tab and channel ledgers fastened with rows of bolts. The joint is secured by five-eighths-inch diameter by six-inch NSA anchors, typical of eight, positioned along the flanges. A note specifies that bolts shall be A325-SC in short-slotted holes for field fit-up, with bolt quantities varying by beam size such as six, five, or four seven-eighths-inch diameter bolts at three inches on center for W24, W21, and W18 profiles respectively. The shear tab is to be installed vertical, and the layout includes dimensional spacings of eight inches, four inches, and one and one-half inches.
