CC COLUMN CAPS

1. Factored Resistance for normal load is based on beam bearing and column compressive resistance.
2. Column size assumed W1 x W2; no buckling considered.
3. Normal load and Uplift apply to CC only.
4. Factored Resistance for Uplift and Lateral Load (F1 and F2) is increased by 15 % for short-term load duration (wind, earthquake).
5. Uplift Factored Resistance is lesser of column bolts resistance and beam bolts resistance (one beam only) for vertical load.
6. It is assumed that beams are joined over column.
7. ECC - End Column Cap.
8. CCC - Cross Column Cap.
9. ECCLL (ECCRL) - L Column Cap Left (Right). ECCL is an ECC End Column Cap with beam seat top flush.
10. Straps are centred upon the top unless otherwise specified.
11. Column straps may be rotated 90° on special orders where W1 is greater than W2.
12. Any W2 dimension may be specified in combination with any column cap size given.
