  • Shear tab

  • Clip angle

  • Bolts

  • Studs

  • Anchors

  • Washer plates

  • Welds

Use for

Situation Description

Bolted clip angle at the near and far side of the beam. The clip angle is anchored to the concrete using bent anchor bolts.

Anchoring with four studs.

Shear tab is bolted to a skewed beam.

Selection order

  1. Select the main part (beam).

  2. Pick a position near the end of the beam.

    Note that the point you pick determines from which end of the beam the plate will be positioned, it does not locate the plate itself.

    The connection is created automatically when you pick the position.
