About this detail

This structural steel connection joins a new wide-flange beam to an existing beam per plan using a double angle shear connection. The connection utilizes three rows of three-quarter-inch diameter ASTM A325F bolts for W12 and W14 shapes, and four rows for W16 shapes, verified in field. A new wide-flange shape per plan is added below the existing framing with three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides at the bolted side of the angle, typically four inches. Additional welding includes quarter-inch welds at six-inch spacing with twelve-inch continuous welds at the ends. Field investigation is required to check for existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing conflicts and coordinate with the added steel.
