(2) TJI Beams Connecting to a Steel Wide Flange Column

[Respawn]

Any suggestions on how to connect (2) side by side TJI's to a steel wide flange column? I have been digging around the Simpson catalog trying to find something. The I-joists make it hard.

Pad it out and use a custom saddle or steel shear tab...

An HUC is weldable. They go up to 7" wide.

@GC HOPI What do you mean by pad it out? Haven't heard of that verbage.

Padding is to add additional material to change to shape of the member usually to make a connection easier or for architectural reasons (like padding to box a beam so it is larger).

Shelf angle under the joist. Probably a pretty uncommon way, but nevertheless...a solution.
