About this detail

A supported steel beam connects to a supporting frame beam web using a full height shear tab welded each side of the web with a thickness matching the frame beam web or three-eighths inch minimum. For shallow beams like W8 through W14, a half-inch rectangular bottom plate with an additional unslotted bolt is detailed below the connection, omitted if the dimension is less than four inches. For W16 and deeper beams, the full height shear tab runs between the beam flanges without a bottom plate. All connection holes are unslotted and comply with AISC manual dimensions relative to the beam "K" distance.
