ABSTRACT:
An improved ledger beam is provided which securely forms a load transferring connection with joist members without the need for separate material connectors which must be welded or fastened to the ledger beam. The ledger beam has a series of shear tabs integrally formed from the ledger beam's parent material which serve as points of fastening between the ledger beam and the joists. Also provided is a method of transferring loads from joist members to ledger members in a structural floor arrangement without the need for separate material connectors which must be welded or fastened to the ledger beam.
