I did not design it. Someone else did and it's been built and standing for over two years. The pics show it. We want to do something similar but with whatever improvements or changes that develop.
I will certainly discuss before but please suggest the welding when it's just the four points...
OK, so here is my interpretation of what was suggested above. A three-piece weldment of components is welded to the column, and the beam has a coped length of 3x3x1/4 angle welded to its bottom flange and web. The parts join up and are fixed with 3/4" bolts.
As re field-welded, perhaps it was, but consider there are only four contact points, with the beam flanges against those of the columns. And without clips of some type, field-welding requires somehow temporarily fixing a 600 pound member in the air while you clamp it all up in preparation for...
Please suggest the connection detail for replicating this. See the photos. The frame is an "exoskeleton" for a two-floor tiny house with 20 foot by 20 foot footprint. Member size for all six columns and all six load-carrying beams is W10x33, for which flange thickness is 0.435 inches. As the...
