About this detail

A steel framing beam connects to a supporting frame beam using a full-height shear tab on each side of the web, sized per schedule with a minimum thickness matching the frame beam web or three-eighths of an inch. A one-half-inch optional rectangular plate is positioned underneath with a one-fourth-inch weld and eight-inch dimension, requiring one additional unslotted bolt unless the dimension is less than four inches. No slotted holes are permitted at the steel connection, and dimensions must maintain the "K" distance per the AISC manual. The supported beam size is determined per the structural plan.
