About this detail

A structural steel beam to wide flange column connection utilizes a bolted single plate shear tab and a top cap plate. The wide-flange column is continuous where applicable and receives a one-half-inch thick cap plate sized to the column width minus one-quarter inch on each side unless noted otherwise. A stiffener plate matching the shear tab thickness is welded inside the column web. The beam connects to the shear tab with bolts sized per the typical beam connection schedule. Fillet welds are specified on three sides of the shear tab and at the stiffener plate. A one-inch maximum clearance is maintained between the beam end and the column flange with specified vertical edge distances.
