About this detail

Beam-to-column connections utilize a shear tab with a thickness equal to the web plus one-quarter inch, bolted with a specified number and size of bolts, supplemented by continuity plates welded to top and bottom flanges. Continuity plates are detailed on both sides of the column web with thicknesses based on connected beam flanges, incorporating standard copes and clearances per AISC specifications. Two-sided beam-to-beam connections accommodate members with depth differences greater than one inch using WT sections matching the flange width of the beam, while smaller depth differences connect directly with shear tabs. Weld backup plates are omitted for clarity.
