About this detail

Standard structural steel shear tab connections encompass beam-to-beam, beam-to-wide-flange column, beam-to-HSS column, and parallel beam conditions. Connections utilize single shear plates shop-welded to supports and bolted to supported steel beam webs with three-quarter-inch diameter A325-N bolts, with bolt quantities varying from two to eight depending on beam size and depth group per the accompanying bolt schedule. Edge distances are specified as one-and-one-half inches for bolt diameters seven-eighths inch or less, and one-and-three-quarters times the bolt diameter for larger bolts, with three-inch minimum bolt spacing. Five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds are required at designated locations, with weld sizes equal to plate thickness minus one-sixteenth inch for plate-to-beam connections. Web stiffeners are provided when intersecting beams are offset more than eight inches from each other or where required by column thickness limits. Skewed member connections detail conditions for angles up to sixty degrees with specific clearance and weld requirements.
