Beam Bears on Column

Beam bears on top of column. Beam is connected to top of column with partially-threaded screws.

Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from beam to column.

Design Notes

  • Capacity of connection is dependent on perpendicular-to-grain capacity of the beam.
  • It is recommended that screws installed in beam are slightly overdriven to account for beam shrinkage.
  • An erection aid can assist in alignment during installation.
  • Deck not shown for clarity. Beam may require bracing for lateral-torsional buckling.

Other Applications:

  • Beam bears on mass timber wall panel.
