A carried steel beam connects to a supporting beam using a full-height single plate shear tab sized per schedule. The web connection uses standard holes without slots, with fillet welds specified on two sides. Vertical dimensioning criteria separate conditions where the elevation difference is less than three inches from those greater than three inches. Clearances maintain dimensions per the AISC manual with specified nominal minimum and maximum offsets.
