A steel beam connects to a supporting girder web via a welded shear plate where the girder flange width is less than 6 and 1/2 inches. The shear plate thickness equals the scheduled thickness plus 1/8 inch, and the weld size equals the scheduled size plus 1/16 inch unless noted otherwise. A maximum 3-inch dimension governs the connection layout symmetrically about the centerline. Additional connection information refers to scheduled details.
SHEAR PL. THICKNESS OF PLATE = SCHEDULE THICKNESS + 1/8" bf SYM. U.O.N. SCHEDULED WELD SIZE + 1/16 1/2" MAX. NOTES: 1. SEE DETAIL 1 FOR SCHEDULED SHEAR PLATE AND WELD SIZES. 2. SEE DETAIL 7 FOR CONN. INFO NOT NOTED. 3. DETAIL IS ONLY TO BE USED WHERE BEAM FLANGE WIDTH OF GIRDER IS LESS THAN 6 1/2". 3" MAX.
