About this detail

A skewed steel beam frames into a wide flange column. Connection geometry accommodates skews greater than sixty degrees utilizing a full-depth bent shear plate with a three-quarter inch clearance. A half-inch plate matches the depth of the skewed shear plate and overlaps the column flange by a quarter-inch minimum, omitted when the skewed shear plate frames directly into the column flange. Beam flanges are cut and coped as required to avoid conflicts with adjacent structural members and maintain necessary clearances. Five-sixteenth inch fillet welds and complete joint penetration welds secure the connection components.
