beams supported by them are “simple” beams, that is, no bending moment
at the beam ends. There are two basic types of shear connections, framed
and seated.
2.4.2 Framed connections
These are the familiar double-angle, single-angle, single-shear plate, and
shear end-plate connections. They are called framed connections because
they connect beams, web-to-web, directly. Figure 2.37a shows a typical
double-angle connection and Fig. 2.37b shows a shear end-plate con-
nection. These and other types of framed connections can be easily
designed using the design aids (charts, tables) contained in the AISC
Manual of Steel Construction. A shear end-plate and single plate shear
connection will be designed in detail in the next two examples. The
other types are designed in a similar manner.
