Two steel beams frame into a supporting girder from opposite sides using bolted shear tabs. A structural tee matching the beam flange width is welded to the bottom flange with a one-quarter inch fillet weld when beam depth differences exceed one inch. Bolt spacing and edge distances follow AISC specifications. Weld backup plates are omitted for clarity.
