What Is a Shear Tab
A shear tab is a plate that is welded to the shape of a structural support and then bolted to the end of a beam. It is mainly intended to transfer vertical shear loads and at the same time to allow the accommodation of specified structural movements in the beam connection.
Because of their simplicity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, shear tabs are widely used in steel framed buildings to connect beams.
KEY FEATURES
ASTM A36 Steel: Ideal strength and weldability for structural applications.
Precision Bolt Holes: Hole diameter, spacing and edge distances can be manufactured to match approved connection drawings.
Made-to-Order Fabrication: Width, length, thickness, hole pattern and configuration can be made-to-order.
Uniform Dimensions: Light dimensional control ensures field installation.
Fabrication for Your Project: Shop ready for the fabricator, steel contractor and structural steel project.
AISC Based Production: Made to accommodate connection designs using AISC applicable requirements.
APPLICATION
1.Beam-to-Column Connections: Shear tabs are the preferred method for attaching structural beams to steel columns in commercial and industrial construction.
2.Beam-to-Beam Connections: They can make simple shear connections between tertiary and secondary beams.
3.Warehouse & Industrial Buildings: Applicable to steel warehouse, steel factory, steel workshop and other steel frame buildings.
4.Commercial Buildings: Frequently found in office buildings, malls, and multi-level steel structures.
5.Mezzanine & Platform Structures: Fasteners are suitable for the secondary beam connections in mezzanine flooring, equipment platforms, and industrial platforms.
6.Structural Steel Fabrication: Perfect for the steel fabricator that needs to have connection plates pre-cut and pre-drilled for shop fabrication and field assembly.
