About this detail

A structural steel framing connection details a supported beam connecting to a perimeter beam via a full-height shear tab sized per schedule and the AISC manual. The connection features unslotted holes and a half-inch thick rectangular plate option at the bottom flange with a one-inch dimension for shallower beams like W8 through W14. A fillet weld of one-quarter inch secures the connection components where indicated. Additional bottom plates and bolts are omitted if the dimension is less than four inches, while deeper beams of W16 and above utilize full-height shear tabs up to a maximum four-inch offset without slotted holes.
