Strongest anchoring in load-bearing beam

[JF.]

To make the strongest connection between the carrier beam and the upright post, how should it be done? Allow the post to extend past the carrier beam and attach with carriage bolts? Let the carrier beam rest on top of the post and secure with some type of brackets?
The carrier beam consists of double 45mm

It depends on the function and load of the pole.

It depends on the function and load of the post.

The function is to support the bearing beam for the terrace. I don't know the load, but it's a normal terrace.

 

[justusandersson]

In that case, it is best to place the post under the support beam and use splice plates on the sides, which you fasten with through bolts both in the post and the support beam.

Is this what you mean?

 

[justusandersson]

Yes, but there should probably be two bolts in the post to make it really stable.

One through the post and one through the beam then. Is a hole plate with dimensions 175x40mm sufficient?

 

[justusandersson]

Is there really room for a through bolt in a hole plate? The thread title is "strongest fastening." I'm thinking of what is usually called a splice plate that resembles a foundation iron.

Is there really room for a through bolt in a perforated plate? The thread title is "strongest fastening." I'm thinking about what is usually called a splice plate that resembles a bracket iron.

It's called a special perforated plate with two holes for M10 bolts. I'll check if I can find the ones you mean.

Bauhaus also has similar ones. For example: https://www.bauhaus.se/skarvbeslag-180x40-mm

P.S. Do you need to splice the support beams, or are they long enough to cover the entire width of the deck without splicing?

P.S Do you need to splice the support beams or do they reach the entire width of the deck unspliced?

It will be 9.6M wide, so I will have to splice.

I'm sitting with 13.6m in my construction which starts next week. The same solution (as Justus knows...). Glulam posts 90x90 with double 45x195x5400 beams that are overlapped and jointed at the supports on the posts. I haven't really solved the fastening myself over the joint....

Here is my rigging and bearing line placement:

I will have double 45x220 so I will overlap them as you say. Do you mean how you will get the fitting over the splice? Because it might not be completely optimal. Did you buy the fittings you linked from bauhaus?
