Steel Shim and Framing Detail at Joist Bearing

About this detail

Steel shim plates are positioned where steel beams or girders are lower than joists, with the shim formed from a section of angle, channel, or steel tube. A typical L3x3x1/4 angle connects the steel beam or girder. A deck bearing angle is omitted if the deck is cut tight around the column, and this configuration applies similarly at the building perimeter and corners.
