    Are there any problems with these beam end bearing conditions?

    Default Beam-to-post connection

    Basic structural design rules:
    Steel to steel connection is better than steel to wood connection.

    If steel beam has to land on a wood post, make sure the following is checked:
    -End bearing at the wood post
    -Lateral constraint is provided. (Are you sure the steel beam will stay here all the time?)
    What about adding some straps?
    -Wood post base anchorage
    -What's it keeping the wood post functioning like a single column?
    -Load path (Is it there?)
