A structural steel single plate shear tab connection accommodates skewed beam-to-column or beam-to-beam framing conditions with varying skew angles alpha. The connection utilizes a bolted web plate welded to the supporting member using specific fillet weld sizes keyed to the angle of skew ranging from five to forty-five degrees. For skew angles between thirty and forty-five degrees, the single plate is beveled flush with the web of the support. Fillet welds range from one-quarter inch up to one-half inch depending on the specific angle bracket criteria shown.
