Column to beam connections often have multiple beams framing on top of a column. L, T, and Cross column caps provide design solutions for this application.
Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured with the following criteria applied:
- The download capacity shall be determined
from the capacity for the unmodified product
(See CC/ECC/ECCU Column Caps for more information). The side beam can take a
maximum of 40% of the download and
shall not exceed 10,665 lbs. The sum of
the loads for the side beam(s) and main
beam can not exceed the table load.
- Uplift loads do not apply for ECCL caps.
For CCC and CCT, uplift loads from table
apply for main beam only.
- The column width in the direction of the
main beam width must be the same as the
main beam width (W1).
- Specify the stirrup height from the top of
the cap. The minimum side stirrup heights
(H2 or H3) is 6 1/2" (3 1/2" for 44's).
- The L dimension may vary depending on
the width of the side stirrup (W3 or W4).
- Column caps may be ordered without the
column straps for field welding to a column.
No loads apply. Specify CCOC/CCOT/ECCOL.
- A CCC66 with W3 = 5 1/2", H2 and H3 = 6 1/2" is a CC66 column cap with 5 1/2" beams on
each side with all beam seats flush.
- An ECCLR66 with W3 = 3 5/8", H2 = 7 1/2" is an ECC66 end column cap with a 4x beam on the right side (specify direction left (which is shown) or right for stirrup) and stirrup seat 1" below the cap seat.
