About this detail

Two framing conditions illustrate structural steel beam-to-beam connections framing into a supporting girder web from opposite sides. For beam depth differences greater than one inch, a structural tee matched to the beam flange width is welded to the underside with a quarter-inch fillet weld and extends two feet out. For beam depth differences of one inch or less, standard shear tabs are bolted to the webs with bolt counts, sizes, spacings, and edge distances per American Institute of Steel Construction specifications. Complete penetration welds are specified at the top and bottom flanges typically, with weld backup plates omitted for clarity.
