Beam bears on mass timber wall panel at pocket in wall. Beam is connected to wall panel with partially-threaded screws.
Beam Bears on Mass Timber Wall Panel at Pocket
Beam bears on mass timber wall panel at pocket in wall. Beam is connected to wall panel with partially-threaded screws.
Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from beam to mass timber wall panel. Can also transfer out-of-plane loads from the wall panel to the beam.
Design Notes
- Capacity of connection is dependent on perpendicular-to-grain capacity of the beam.
- Screws and bracket provide load path for in-plane and out-of-plane loads.
- Screws can be installed diagonally from wall panel into beam (shown) or vertically from top of beam into wall panel.
- Deck not shown for clarity. Beam may require bracing for lateral-torsional buckling.
