About this detail

A steel beam frames into the web of a perimeter beam using a full-height shear tab connection with a half-inch thick rectangular plate option. The web connection uses unslotted holes and conforms to AISC manual dimensions. For W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams with a gap under four inches, a bottom plate and bolt are required, secured with a quarter-inch fillet weld at eight inches spacing with an added unslotted bolt. For W16 and deeper beams where the gap is four inches maximum, the bottom plate and additional bolt are omitted.
