Concrete – How to Fill Gap Between Steel Beam and Concrete Pillar

beamconcretefoundation

I have a Concrete Foundation Pillar that is 5/8th of an inch too short. What filler materials are appropriate when a steel I Beam will be resting on it? Can I use mortar, or is steel more appropriate?

Best Answer

mortar is not really structural, I would go with steel, perhaps half-inch plate and some washers
