ABSTRACT:
A column to structure attachment device and method is disclosed for securing a support column between a base structure and a beam structural member. The device includes a structural column having a first end and a second end with a void parallel to a longitudinal axis of the column such that the void forms a communication therethrough between the first end and second end. Also included is a first end adapter element that engages the column first end and a second end adapter element that engages the column second end. In addition, an element is provided for maintaining compressive loading on the column between the first end adapter element and the second end second adapter element and is operational to maintain the compressive loading under all anticipated external loading conditions acting upon the column to structure attachment device through the base structure and the beam structural member.
