®	CC COLUMN CAPS

The industry standard column cap. Precision factory gang-punched holes speed installation on this product line.

MATERIAL: CC3-1/4, CC44, CC46, CC64, CC66, CC68, CC6-7--7 gauge; all others--3 gauge

FINISH: Simpson gray paint; may be ordered HDG; CCO--no finish.

INSTALLATION:

• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
• Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter (per 1997 NDS, section 8.1.2.1.).

OPTIONS:

• Straps may be rotated 90° where W₁ >= W₂ (see illustration).
• For special, custom, or rough cut lumber sizes, provide dimensions. An optional W₂ dimension may be specified with any column size given (note that the W₂ dimension on straps rotated 90° is limited by the W₁ dimension).
• Column caps with W₁,  L, H₁, and hole schedules different from the table may be special ordered. Provide a drawing to ensure accuracy.

CCO--Column cap only may be ordered for field-welding to pipe or other columns. No loads apply.

CCOB--Any two CCOs may be specified for back-to-back welding to create a cross beam connector. Use the table loads; the load is no greater than the lesser element employed.

ECCU--For uplift at end conditions, see Technical Bulletin ECCUP.

ECC--For end conditions, specify ECC. Uplift loads do not apply to the ECC. ECC9  and ECC10 use four beam bolts.

CCC/CCT/ECCL--Cross Column Cap/T Column Cap/L Column Cap. 7 gauge stirrups may be welded to column cap sides. To order, add the appropriate letters and dimensions to the model number in the table; see examples. 

The following criteria apply:

1. The side stirrup maximum allowable download cannot exceed 40% of the download in the table for the unmodified product, and cannot exceed 10,665 lbs. The sum of the loads cannot exceed the table load. The column width in the direction of the beam width must be the same as the beam width: W₁.
2. Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The minimum H₂/H₃ for the stirrup is 6-1/2" (3-1/2"  for 44s).
3. The L dimension may vary depending on W3 or W4.

Ordering examples: A CCC66 with W₃ = 5-1/2", H₂ and H₃ = 6-1/2" is a CC66 column cap with 5-1/2" beams on each side with all beam seats flush. An ECCLR66 with W₃ = 3-9/16", H₂ = 7-1/2" is an ECC66 end column cap with a 4x beam on the right side (specify L instead of R for left side stirrup) and stirrup seat 1" below the cap seat.

CODES: ICBO 1211; City of L.A. RR 22086.

1. Post sides are assumed to lie in the same vertical plane as the beam sides.
2. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.
3. Downloads are determined using Fc l equal to: 560 psi for glulam sizes and CC86, CC88 and CC106; 750 psi for 7-1/8" size; 625 psi for all others; reduce where end bearing value of post, L/R of post, or other criteria are limiting.
4. Uplift loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading and apply only to continuous beams: reduce for other loading condition in accordance with the code. Uplift loads are limited by the beam shear capacity except CC76, CC78, and CC96 through CC106.
5. ECC downloads assume a post of W₁ x W₂.
