About this detail

This structural steel connection details a skewed wide-flange beam framing into a wide-flange girder at a skew angle greater than 45 degrees. The connection utilizes a full-depth bent shear plate welded to the girder and bolted to the supported beam web with one-inch diameter A490-X bolts. A complete joint penetration weld is specified to the top and bottom flanges and to the web of the girder. The shear plate thickness, bolt count, and weld size vary according to the accompanying Schedule BC based on the specific beam size, ranging from W8 and W10 up to W44 shapes. Beam copes are provided at the top or bottom flange where applicable, along with a stiffener plate welded to the beam web at specific connections.
