About this detail

A full-height single plate shear tab connection joins framing steel beams to a perimeter beam flange. The connection utilizes a half-inch thick plate, with a rectangular plate option available, welded with a quarter-inch fillet weld and configured without slotted holes. For W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams, a bottom plate with one additional unslotted bolt is required if the clearance is less than four inches. For W16 and deeper beams, the full-height shear tab connection ties directly into the perimeter beam per the AISC manual dimensioning.
