This detail illustrates the connection of an eave strut to a rigid frame column at a lowside condition where the eave strut bypasses the column. This detail is specifically oriented for a corner or endwall location, as indicated by the orientation key showing the sidewall and endwall relationship.
The eave strut is a C-shaped member that runs horizontally along the eave line, supporting both roof and wall panel connections at their intersection. In this bypass configuration, the eave strut may continue past the rigid frame column.
The connection uses (4) 1/2" x 1-1/4" A307 bolts with (8) washers—one washer on each side of each bolt.
The bolts pass through the bottom flange of the eave strut and into the top of the rigid frame column. During installation, temporarily secure the eave strut with a strap or rope to prevent sliding until all bolts are installed and tightened.
