Let's say you have series of dropped beams (3-1.75X11.875 LVL) and columns in a crawlspace of a residential construction. Let's say your columns in the crawlspace support 20K of point load(unfactored). I want to hear the consensus:
1. What would you use as column member?
2. How do you attach the column to the dropped beam?
3. How do you attach the column to the isolated spread footing?

I dont want to give too much info because I dont want to persuade you to go one way. I have a differing opinion from another engineer and want to see what other people are thinking.

Thanks!
