In (1), use an end plate on the beam with bolt above and below the beam. If you need more bolts, use a curved end plate fitting around the column with bolts through column as required.
In (2), use an end plate on steel beam with bolts through wood beam.
BA....Thanks again.
I'm going to do the followings:
So in 1), since the column is round, I will use a curved plate with bolts at above & below beam. Size of bolts and plate to be determined based on beam reaction.
AND in 2) Welded plate to steel beam with bolts on each side beam. Wood beam supports floor, so not necessary to bend plate.
Am I correct?
I like using wooden columns esp in house with wood walls.
That way - and usually - the wood column shrinks and swells at about the same pace as the wood walls. Cuts down on crakcs. Steel columns I use in the basment.
