Shear Tab / Single Plate Beam-to-Beam Welded Connection Bolted Connection

About this detail

This structural detail and accompanying table specify standard connection criteria for single plate shear connections based on the nominal size of the supported member. The table details the required number of three-quarter-inch diameter A325 bolts, fillet weld size 'a', and minimum shear tab thickness for beam sizes ranging from W8 and C8 up to W30. The diagram shows the geometric layout including standard one-and-a-half-inch edge distances, three-inch typical bolt spacing, and fillet welds on three sides of the shear tab connecting to the supporting member. A half-inch setback is maintained between the supported beam and the support face.
