Methods M. No Column/Beam Connection Ties |
In most walls, the column-to-beam connections are usually sufficient because of the nailing of floor members and other wall finish materials. These connections can be strengthened by adding sheet metal connectors. Strengthening these connections may require costly removal of finish material, but it is usually only necessary or appropriate for columns and beams in locations with no finish materials, for example, basements and garages.
Typical Cost: $25/connection
