About this detail

These structural details illustrate offset steel beam connections framing into supporting girders using shear plates and stiffener plates. The supported beam connects via a shear plate with welds and fasteners sized per the typical non-frame beam connection schedule, with plate thickness adjusted per the schedule plus one-sixteenth of an inch. Full-height stiffeners or stiffener plates five-sixteenths by four inches wide are provided both near side and both sides as noted. Fillet welds of one-quarter and five-sixteenths inch sizes and complete joint penetration welds secure the plates and stiffeners to the supporting girder web and flanges. Notes address beam extension requirements for cope situations and maximum additional fastener counts in secondary rows.
