Mike...Thanks.

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...

BA.....Thanks. With through bolts, they must be more than 8" long, right?

BA....Wood column and wood beam are existing. This is part of an alteration.

BA.....See attached sketch for 1) connection steel beam to wood column AND 2) connection of steel beam to wood beam.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=157711ec-50d5-4195-8f65-02644fa0a3aa&file=Steel_-_Wood_connection.pdf

BA...Can you be more specific when the beam will be attached on the side of the column?

BA...Is it done by welding a plate at the W8 then bolted to the wood beam?

How do I connect a W8x24 steel beam to a 8" dia column?

How do I connect a W8x24 steel beam to 8x14 wood beam?. A detail will also help.

Thanks all...

henri2 Thanks

Thanks for the info. However I have another question...does TC shear bolt the same terminology as A325 TC?

Does A307 classify as TC shear bolt?

ToadJones, Ok. What about the slip-critical...it will make more sense to use TC bolts in that situation?

ToadJones, So if the connections were slip-critical type, then the use of a fully pretensioned TC bolts will make more sense?.
