About this detail

A supported steel beam frames into the web of a supporting frame beam using a full-height single plate shear connection welded to the frame beam web. For W16 and deeper beams, a full-height shear tab connects the web, while W8, W10, W12, and W14 beams incorporate an additional half-inch bottom plate and bolt with a one-inch dimension when space permits. No slotted holes are permitted in the steel connections. Fillet welds of quarter-inch size secure the stiffener plate assembly where required, maintaining AISC manual clearance dimensions.
