About this detail

A Type A single plate shear connection joins a wide-flange beam to a supporting member. The assembly features a shear tab welded to the support with a fillet weld size designated as W per schedule, and bolted to the supported beam web using ASTM A325 high-strength bolts spaced at three inches on center. The plate thickness, bolt count, diameter, and weld size vary according to the accompanying bolt and plate schedule based on the supported beam profile, ranging from W10 to W33 sections. Clearances and edge distances include two inches minimum at the top and bottom, with top or bottom copes prohibited within the shear tab height. Bolt hole types are standard or short slotted as specified in the schedule.
