Abstract
A shear beam-column connection includes a first beam, a first tapered bolt having a non-threaded portion and a threaded end portion, and a column including a first wedge slot block. The non-threaded portion of the first tapered bolt is fixedly secured, e.g., by welding, to the first beam. The wedge slot block includes a cavity for removably receiving the non-threaded portion of the first tapered bolt. The first wedge slot block is fixedly secured to the column, e.g., by welding. The first beam can be secured to the column by positioning the first beam adjacent the column such that the non-threaded portion of the bolt is inserted into the cavity. A nut can be threaded to the free end of the bolt to further secure the beam to the column.
