ABSTRACT:
A timber and concrete connection which includes a steel connector formed with stirrup members embedded in the concrete and which extend above the concrete for fastening to the timber member. The timber member rests on a standoff member which holds the base of the timber member a specified distance above the concrete; usually one inch. The standoff member is constructed from a single sheet of metal and in one form of the invention is releasably connected to the stirrup members. In another form of the invention, the standoff member is restrained from horizontal movement in all directions by the stirrup members, and in still another form of the invention the standoff member may simply be placed between the stirrup members and either welded to the stirrup members or not.
