Column Bears with Proprietary Dowel Connector

Column bears on proprietary base plate. Positive connection to concrete and column is achieved with single post-installed threaded rod.

Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from wood column to concrete.

Design Notes

  • Capacity of connection is dependent on parallel-to-grain capacity of the column bearing on the plate.
  • This connection provides reduced elevation control relative to grouted connections.
  • Potential suppliers include Simpson Strong-Tie.
  • Additional suppliers provide options for similar connections to the column. Potential suppliers include Timberlinx.
