LCB/CB Column Bases

MATERIAL: See table FINISH: LCB, CB44, CB46, CB48, CB66, CB68, CB610, CB86galvanized; all other CBSimpson Strong-Tie gray paint or HDG. Some models available in HDG or stainless steel INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. For full loads, minimum side cover required is 3" for CB, 2" for LCB. Install all models with bottom of base plate flush with concrete. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). OPTIONS: LCB and CB are available in rough size. Other sizes available for CB specify W1 and W2 dimensions. Consult Simpson Strong-Tie for bolt sizes and allowable loads. CODES: See page 20 for Code Reference Key Chart.

1. Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. PSL is parallel strand lumber. 3. LCB products may be installed with either bolts OR nails (not both) to achieve table loads. 4. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-SCLCOLUMN for values on the narrow face (edge) (see page 215 for details). LCB bases installed with nails must be installed into the wide face. 5. Designer is responsible for concrete design. 6. See pages 210-211 for common post allowable loads. 7. NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 312" long. See page 24-25 for other nail sizes and information.
