Architect messed up
This building was built in 2007. Outdoor pavilion with a roof about 60' square and a 25' tall ceiling. Connections of the timber posts to the concrete bases don't follow AITC guidelines and thus rotted.

What could go wrong? I always encase wood in concrete to ensure the wood stays fresh.

He also screwed up by creating undrained areas at the bottom of the braces (red rectangles). The red circles point ut termite holes- 20' above the column bases.

For the columns we'll use treated southern pine instead of the original douglas fir. Otherwise same detail.
For the brace bottoms we'll reposition the connector plates and do a chamfer cut on top to ensure drainage. I'll do the same thing for the column blocks. |

no time to do it right, always plenty of time and money to do it twice.

I've already done my job, and my client, the contractor, will now do his. The owner can decide later if he tries to recoup his costs. If so, then I'll have another job as an expert witness. Waiting for lawyers to decide cases would risk catastrophic damage as well as lose revenue. Right now the building is permanently closed. |
