About this detail

Steel shims are installed where steel beams or girders are lower than the open-web steel joists, using a section of angle, channel, or steel tube. A typical L3x3x1/4 angle provides bearing support. A deck bearing angle is omitted if the metal deck is cut tight around the column. This configuration is typical at building perimeters and corners.
