There are cost-effective alternatives
for replacing column caps by using
a combination of connectors. Here
are some examples. Designer must
specify the options required.
NOTE: The side stirrup will be welded
flush with the top of the main cap.
For more information, request Form
T-CC and the Product Worksheet.

1. Post sides are assumed to lie in the same vertical
plane as the beam sides.
2. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.
3. Downloads are determined using Fc^ equal to:
560 psi for glulam sizes and CC86, CC88 and CC106;
750 psi for 7 size; 625 psi for all others; reduce
where end grain bearing or buckling capacity of
the column, or other criteria are limiting.
4. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations
with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations
govern. Uplift loads are limited by the beam shear capacity per
2001 NDS except CC76, CC78, and CC96 through CC106.
5. Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension
loads between spliced members by means other than the column cap.
6. Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions.
7. Beam depth must be greater than H1.
Optional CC

CCO
Side stirrups are
available in
different depths.
MATERIAL: CC3 , CC44, CC46, CC48, CC64, CC66, CC68, CC6-7 7 gauge;
all others 3 gauge
FINISH: Simpson gray paint; may be ordered HDG; CCO no finish.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Bolt holes shall be a minimum of to a maximum of larger than the
bolt diameter (per 2001 NDS, section 11.1.2).
Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connections that are not through
the wide face.
OPTIONS: Straps may be rotated 90 where W1 W2 (see illustration).
For special, custom, or rough cut lumber sizes, provide dimensions. An
optional W2 dimension may be specified with any column size given (note
that the W2 dimension on straps rotated 90 is limited by the W1 dimension).
Column caps with W1, L, H1, and hole schedules different from the table
may be special ordered. Provide a drawing to ensure accuracy.
CCO Column cap only (no straps) may be ordered for field-welding to pipe
or other columns. No loads apply. CCO dimensions are the same as CC.
CCOB Any two CCOs may be specified for back-to-back welding to create
a cross beam connector. Use the table loads; the load is no greater than
the lesser element employed.
CCC/CCT Cross Column Cap/T Column Cap. 7 gauge stirrups may be welded
to column cap sides. Uplift loads do not apply to side stirrups. Column cap
only (no straps) may be ordered for field-welding to pipe or other columns.
No loads apply. Specify CCOC/CCOT.
The following criteria apply:
1.The side stirrup maximum allowable download cannot exceed 40% of the
download in the table for the unmodified product, and cannot exceed 10,665 lbs.
The sum of the loads cannot exceed the table load. The column width in the
direction of the beam width must be the same as the beam width: W1.
2.Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The minimum H2/H3
for the stirrup is 6 (3 for 44s).
3.The L dimension may vary depending on W3 or W4.
Ordering examples: A CCC66 with W3 5 ", H2 and H3 6 is a CC66
column cap with 5 beams on each side with all beam seats flush.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
Side stirrups are available
in different depths.
