Try using double tie rods with Simpson PHD’s, or HD’s or similar connectors on each side of the glu-lam.

Subject: Curved GluLam tie
Good morning,
I’m looking for a good connection between a curved glulam roof member and ¾” steel tie rod at the base (@ wall line). It’s ~8 kips. I’d like to drill all the way through and use a bearing plate, but that’s about a 2’ long hole. Any ideas?
thanks,
Gordon Goodell
