About this detail

A standard beam-to-support shear plate connection involves a supported steel beam framing into an embed plate, beam web, column flange, or retrofit plate. A vertical shear plate sized per schedule is shop welded to the support, with field welds joining the plate to the beam web. The supported beam web is fastened with a specified number and diameter of bolts spaced at three inches on center, complete with washers and configured with a standard half-inch gap at the support face. Maximum cope lengths and depths are provided for beam framing conditions requiring clearance at intersecting members.
