A steel column was supported with a steel shim stack on top of a concrete pilaster The column supported four stories of structural steel framing and a concrete slab on metal deck had been placed at levels two and three The concentrated load on the shim stack caused it to punch into the top of the concrete pilaster resulting in the failure of the concrete and a two inch drop of A36 Steel Technical Data Sheet Steel for general structural purposes including bridges and buildings Minimum Cu content when copper steel is specified Tests performed in transverse direction for plates wider than 590 mm Physical Properties Metric English Sulfur S lt 0 050 lt 0 050 Some of the values displayed abovemay have been Structural Steel Repair Steel components commonly found on buildings include railings lintels shelf angles metal decks beams columns bearing pads shims rebar cables anchors clips fasteners bollards fencing ornamental features stair cases canopies and a variety of other components Steel is subject to corrosion especially when it s not properly coated or for Structural Steel PREFACE The CISC Code of Standard Practice for Structural Steel is a compilation of usual industry practices relating to the design fabrication and erection of structural steel These practices evolve over a period of time and are subject to change as improved methods replace those of an earlier period The Code is revised 2018 03 28 nbsp 0183 32 All main structural columns should be anchored by a minimum of 4 anchor bolts Columns should be set on levelling plates levelling nuts shim packs or level finished floors for adequate transfer of construction loads Best option would be levelling nuts
