How this node works
The glulam beam bears on the column or wall through a steel shoe bolted to the support and pinned to the beam with dowels: the connection transfers all the load and must be designed for it. A small gap keeps the end-grain off the masonry and lets it breathe, so the beam end stays dry and does not rot.
