The GLB Beam Seat from Simpson Strong-Tie is built to provide dependable support for glulam, sawn lumber, or engineered wood beams where they intersect with structural concrete or CMU pilasters. Its rectangular steel-plate design features two vertical plates to capture and secure the beam with a single bolt, offering a clean and stable connection. With two #6 x 12" rebar extensions included, the GLB seat is embedded into the form before concrete is poured—ensuring a reinforced, permanent bond within the structure.
Key Features:
- Wide Beam Compatibility: Designed for use with glulam, sawn lumber, and engineered wood beams
- Concrete Integration: Includes two #6 x 12" rebar extensions for embedding into concrete or CMU pilasters
- Simple Beam Attachment: Single-bolt connection for easy beam installation and strong lateral support
Applications:
- Wood beam-to-concrete/CMU pilaster connections in structural framing
- Residential or commercial projects requiring beam support from a poured concrete base
- Engineered wood or glulam beam integration with masonry or concrete forms
Installation Overview:
- Positioning: Place the GLB Beam Seat into the concrete formwork at the required elevation and alignment
- Rebar Placement: Ensure the two #6 x 12" rebar extensions are fully embedded for structural anchoring
- Concrete Pour: Pour and finish concrete, encapsulating the seat and rebar securely into the pilaster
- Beam Connection: Once concrete is cured, insert the beam into the seat and fasten it using the designated bolt through the vertical plates
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
