About this detail

A W8, W10, W12, or W14 framing beam connects to a perimeter beam using a full-height shear tab sized per schedule and the AISC Manual. The connection utilizes a one-half-inch rectangular plate option welded with a quarter-inch fillet weld, featuring unslotted bolt holes. When the distance from the bottom is less than four inches, the bottom plate and bolt are omitted, while a maximum four-inch clearance governs typical spacing.
