Defining Connections: Beam to Girder Connections

RISA RISA By:

Member Configuration

The connection rule must be applied at the end of the beam (not the continuous girder).

Available Connection Types

Beam Shear Connections Only: (Shear tab, Clip angle, End plate)

  • Single Clip Angle (One Side) Shear Connection

  • Double Clip Angle (One Side) Shear Connection

  • Double Clip Angle (Two-Sided) Shear Connection

  • End Plate Shear Connection

  • Shear Tab Shear Connection

Specific Connection Requirements

  • Girders may only be Wide Flanges.

  • Beams may be Wide Flanges. Tapered Wide Flanges or Channels (except for end plate shear)

  • Double-sided connections available for clip angle shear connections into the girder web.

  • Skewed connections available for Shear Tab (maximum beam skew angle is 45 degrees)
