Multiple Beams Bear on Bearing Plate with Steel Standoff

Column above floor is supported by steel standoff and beams bear on plate with a knife plate at base of standoff. Steel components are connected to wood with glued-in rods, dowels, or screws.

Purpose: Transfer of vertical loads from beams to column and transfer of vertical load from column above directly to column below.

Design Notes

  • Alternate connections include bucket plates for columns and/or beams with through-bolts.
  • Beams may also be framed in perpendicular direction.
  • Capacity of connection is dependent on perpendicular-to-grain capacity of beam and parallel-to-grain capacity of the columns.
  • Deck not shown for clarity. Beam may require bracing for lateral-torsional buckling.
