Oct 30, 2003 · The weight of the beam and the floor above will keep the shims in place. The shims should be masonary or metal, so they don''t compress or deteriorate. Also there should be an air gap at the sides and end of the beam to prevent deterioration of the beam by avoiding contact with the concrete. 2000 IRC 606.13 & R323.1#4

The only problem with using wood shims arises when the shims are too small to support the weight/load of the main beams. If the shims are cut from the edges of nominal 2x4s, they are only 1-1/2 inches wide. A single sliver of 1-1/2 inch wide shim will naturally crush under the weight of nearly any beam in a wood floor system.

Mar 27, 2011 · Re: How do you shim a Lam Beam? Used to use the same thing as Meiland but recently found a great source for flat stainless stock in various thickness locally from a welder/fabricator is Sausalito. (his scrap pile) I think the plastic ones are great for beams but I was using them for a huge CI tub with pretty sharp feet and didn't trust the plastic.

Oct 23, 2016 · I plan on using composite shims to make up the differences in the beam. Can a shim handle that kind of weight? Should I try to get a joist bender and bend the beam to the posts? Or just let it go and fix the issues with shims and planing with the joists and not the beam? I've attached photos. One of the beams everything lined up.

Feb 01, 2010 · Re: Shimming between post and beam I have not seen it used in your application but have seen guys using the steel plates as well as a hardie backer type material for shims. They were what looked like the old asbestos siding panels but were a new material without the bad stuff.

Jun 16, 2011 · Is it okay to use wooden wedge shims between a girder and a floor truss? There are about 5-6 floor trusses in a row along the girder where they did this. I would have thought they would have just jacked the one end of the girder up and used metal shims underneath?
