Beam Connected to Girder with Steel Angles

Wood beam is connected to wood girder with a steel angle on each side. Beam bears on dowel-type fasteners in shear.

Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from wood beam to wood girder.

Design Notes

  • The capacity of this connection is dependent on the dowel connections to both the beam and the girder.
  • Installation requires beam attachment to girder prior to removal of rigging.
  • Deck not shown for clarity. Beam may require bracing for lateral-torsional buckling.

Other Applications:
