Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from floor panels to wood column.
Design Notes
- Capacity is controlled by perpendicular-to-grain bearing capacity of floor or roof panel, or shear capacity of the bracket attachment.
- This connection is unique to single-point support of mass timber panels with two-way span capability such as CLT or SCL-CLT.
- Constructability can be affected by the need for temporary bracing of column.
- Designer must account for eccentricity between load and reaction.
