About this detail

A structural steel beam frames into the web or flange of a supporting member using a single plate shear tab connected with horizontal rows of bolts. The supported beam is coped as required at the top flange to match the top of steel elevation, maintaining a one-half-inch minimum to one-inch maximum clearance from the support face. Fillet welds secure the shear tab to the supporting member per the structural schedule. Standard dimensioning calls out a one-and-one-half-inch minimum edge distance and three-inch bolt spacing. Sizing for the beams and connection components is coordinated with the framing plan and connection schedule.
