Framing & StructuralCâu 361 / 700
For a wood deck post that carries deck loads down to a footing, which connection detail is MOST important at the base?
a.The post may simply rest on soil
b.The post should be buried in the ground without treatment
c.A decorative cap is all that is required
d.A post base/anchor that ties the post to the footing and resists uplift and lateral movement
Giải thích
A code-compliant deck post uses a metal post base or anchor connecting it to the concrete footing so the post cannot slide off or lift, transferring gravity, uplift, and lateral loads. Resting on soil, burying untreated wood, or relying on a decorative cap does not provide the required structural connection.
