13. Bucket-style welded bracket at a “cross” junction. The
top of the support beam is sometimes dapped to accommodate
the thickness of the steel.
suspended beam, permitting plugging of the holes after the
pin is installed. Note that the kerf in the suspended beam
must accommodate not only the width of the steel plate,
but also the increased width at the fillet welds.
14. Face-mounted hangers are commonly used in beam to
beam connections. In a “cross” junction special attention
is required to fastener penetration length into the carrying
beam (to avoid interference from other side).
17. Similar to detail 13, with somewhat lower load
capacity.
18. Clip angle to connect crossing beam.
15. Deep members may be supported by fairly shallow
hangers – in this case, through-bolted with shear plates.
Clip angles are used to prevent rotation of the top of the
suspended beam. Note that the clip angles are not connected
to the suspended beam – doing so would restrain a
deep beam from its natural across-the-grain shrinking and
swelling cycles and would lead to splits.
19. Special detail to connect the ridge purlin to sloped
members or to the peak of arch members.

16. Concealed connections similar to detail 5. The suspended
beam may be dapped on the bottom for a flush
connection. The pin may be slightly narrower than the
