A wind turbine blade includes a first blade segment and a second blade segment extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint. The first blade segment includes a beam structure extending lengthways that structurally connects with the second blade segment at a receiving section, wherein the beam structure forms a portion of an internal support structure and includes a shear web connected with a suction side spar cap and a pressure side spar cap. The present technology also includes multiple first bolt joints located at a first end of the beam structure for connecting with the receiving end of the second blade segment and multiple second bolt joints located at the chord-wise joint, wherein the multiple first bolt joints located at the first end of beam structure are separated pan-wise with the multiple second bolt joints located at the chord-wise joint.
