About this detail

Smaller W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams frame into W16 and deeper supporting beams using a full-height shear tab on each side of the web. The shear tab thickness matches the frame beam web thickness with a three-eighths inch minimum, utilizing a "K" distance per the AISC manual. For shallower beams, a one-half inch rectangular plate is included at the bottom flange with one additional unslotted bolt, unless the dimension is less than four inches, in which case the bottom plate and bolt are omitted. All connections restrict slotted holes to steel, maintaining standard unslotted hole configurations.
