These details illustrate typical structural steel connections for beam-to-column flange and beam-to-beam configurations. The supported beams connect via shear plates sized per schedule with standard bolt groupings and edge distances. Top and bottom plates are provided with a thickness matching the shear plate where indicated, alongside partial height stiffener plates matched in thickness to the shear plate and secured with six or more bolts.
