Slip Critical Connection Requirements
Slip Critical Connection Requirements
(OP)
Why Slip Critical Connection is REQUIRED when the beam is connected to the girder and it is near to the column (the distance of the beam to the column is less than or equal to 3 ft.).

Another common note related to girder connections with filler beams within three feet of the column, is that the end reaction of the filler must be considered in the girder connection. Again this can be a very conservative practice. The occurs most often when a form of UDL is used to determine the reactions, and actual forces are not given.
