Design Notes

Capacity of primary load path is controlled by perpendicular-to-grain bearing capacity of beam or girder.
It is recommended that screws installed in top surface of beams are slightly overdriven to account for beam shrinkage.
Deck not shown for clarity. Beam may require bracing for lateral-torsional buckling.

Other Applications:

Beam Bears on Girder

Wood beam bears on top of the wood girder and a positive connection is made with partially-threaded screws that draw the connections tight.
