Panel Bears on Column

Roof or floor panel bears on top of wood column. Positive attachment is made with partially-threaded screws.

Purpose: Transfer of vertical load from roof or floor panels to wood column.

Design Notes

  • Capacity is controlled by perpendicular-to-grain bearing capacity of floor or roof panel.
  • This connection is unique to single-point support of mass timber panels with two-way span capability such as CLT or SCL-CLT.
  • If there is any net uplift on the connection, screws should be angled.
  • Constructability can be affected by the need for temporary bracing of column.
  • Panel may be continuous over column.
