About this detail

This connection assembly frames a supported steel beam into the web of a supporting steel girder using a bolted single-plate shear connection. The shear plate is welded to the supporting girder web and bolted to the supported beam web, with bolt sizes, plate thickness, and weld sizes specified per the project's typical bolted shear plate schedule. A one-inch minimum clearance is provided between the beam end and the girder flange, with a two-inch minimum distance maintained at any top or bottom beam copes. Where the supported beam is deeper than the girder, the number of bolts is based on the girder size and the shear plate extends down to the bottom flange. Minimum edge distances are one and one-half inches for seven-eighths-inch diameter bolts and one and three-quarters inches for one-inch diameter bolts, where 'd' denotes the diameter of the bolt.
