Yeah I'd say a double angle shear connection with either lag screws or through bolts. But keep in mind the eccentricity this applies to the beam torquing it around.
Do you need erection tolerance at the connection in question or can that happen at the other end? I lean towards an end plate or a recessed, inverted seat angle over the top of the wood beam with a couple of screws in from the top.
the other end can accept tolerance. I like the idea of using a custom top flange hanger over the LVL. This might win me over using thru bolts and swiss cheesing the lvl to accommodate the reaction.
Yeah, Not sure where my head was at yesterday. Top flange hanger is the way to go. If you make the top part long and thick enough, you would minimize my eccentric loading concerns.

Limits placed on how many workers can gather at a job site vary, but these physical distancing directives can be overcome with augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) technology. AR and VR can transport key people to any job site, opening up the site and allowing more people to be on-site virtually, without requiring travel or risky physical interaction. Download Now
