About this detail

A full-height shear tab connection joins interior framing beams and a perimeter steel beam. The connection utilizes a half-inch thick plate welded to the perimeter beam with a quarter-inch fillet weld, featuring unslotted bolt holes in the web connection. For beams W16 and deeper, a full-height shear tab is used directly. For shallower W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams, a diagonal stiffener plate is added beneath the bottom flange with an additional bolt when the clearance is four inches or greater. All connection geometries maintain standard AISC manual k-dimension clearances.
