GLB/HGLB/GLBT Beam Seats

The GLB Series provides a connection between beam and concrete or CMU pilaster.

Finish: Simpson gray paint

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter (per the 2005 NDS, section 11.1.2.).
Check the rebar spacing requirements on all installations.

Options:

Sawn timber and other sizes may be ordered by specifying special dimensions; use the letter designations shown on the illustrations.
Specify if two-bolt GLB model is desired; see illustration below.

Allowable masonry bearing loads based on f'_m of 1,500 psi. Wood bearing based on 560 psi.
When installed on masonry, use the lesser of the masonry or the wood allowable load values. When installed on concrete, a
minimum f'_c = 2000 psi shall be used and use the wood values as the limiting allowable bearing load values.

195 psi and 375 psi values are the allowable bearing stresses for masonry with an f'_m of 1500 psi using the UBC (no inspection) and IBC (ACI 530 2.1.9.3) Allowable Stress Design, respectively. Wood bearing based on f'_c-perp of 560 psi.
When installed on masonry, use the lesser of the masonry or the wood allowable load values. When installed on concrete, a
minimum f'_c = 2000 psi shall be used and use the wood values as the limiting allowable bearing load values.
Allowable horizontal loads are bolt values and include a 33% increase for earthquake or wind loading. Loads must be reduced if stresses in masonry or concrete are limiting.
Beams must fully bear on base plate.
The GLBT5 has a WT4x9 structural tee; the GLBT6 has a WT4x12 structural tee.
Specify "W" dimension when ordering.
For designs under 2003 and 2006 IBC, "Masonry @ 195 psi values" are not applicable.
For UBC, masonry @ 375 psi can be multiplied by 1.04.
Uplift loads do not apply for this connector.
