A column bracket assembly is provided. The column bracket assembly comprises a bottom base bracket and a top base bracket, each including a bracket body adapted to receive an end of support element (e.g. a wooden column) and a mounting bracket/plate pivotally coupled to the bracket body and adapted to be coupled to a structural element (e.g. a footing, pile, header, beam etc.). The column bracket assembly optionally includes mounting brackets for installing cross brace brackets and/or tension rods to the bracket bodies. A method of installing the column bracket assembly, and a method of repairing, resettling, shoring, and/or leveling a structure with the column bracket assembly are also provided, along with structures comprising the column bracket assembly.

A multi-functional wooden pole according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has improved erectness due to a tendon is proposed. The multi-functional wooden pole is capable of maintaining a stable erection state while easily responding to a wind load even when an object having a predetermined weight is installed on an upper side of the wooden pole in a longitudinal direction thereof.

A post joint assembly and a method are provided. The assembly includes an upper cup member having a flat top wall, a tubular wall, a flange portion, and a threaded stud. The assembly further includes a lower cup member having a parabolic dish portion, a tubular portion, and a beaded edge portion. An outer surface of the parabolic dish portion is disposed against an inner surface of the flange portion of the upper cup member such that the threaded stud extends through a first hole in the lower cup member. The assembly further includes a tensioner cup having a second hole with the threaded stud extending therethrough. The assembly further includes a nut threadably coupled to the threaded stud such that the nut urges the tensioner cup against the lower cup member, and further urges the lower cup member against the upper cup member.

The present disclosure relates to a pole shield for extending around a pole structure. The pole shield comprises one or more than one sheet of composite material forming a hollow structure having an open first end and an opposed open second end. The sheet or sheets of composite material comprise from about 50% to about 80% by weight of a reinforcement impregnated with about 20% to about 50% of a polyurethane resin composition comprising a combination of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component. Two or more pole shields may be stacked one on top of the other to form a pole shield structure which extends the height of protection of the pole structure. The pole shield can be used for protecting a pole structure from damage, such as from fire, rain, wind, sand, ice, pests, moisture or electrical. The pole shield may also be used to provide structural support to a pole structure.
