6 1/2" 7 1/4" Install columns with concentric loading to achieve maximum load bearing capacity. This means the overhead beam or surface must completely cover the top of the column shaft.
3 1/4" 6 1/2"
Maximum "e" - beam offset from center. See tables for details.
Load capacity values are only valid if there is uniform contact between the full area of the column shaft bottom and the surface it is installed on. If the surface is sloped (often done to provide runoff), then the bottom of the shaft must be trimmed to match the slope.
