Stiffener Shim Plate Detail (Use when Necessary)
The shim plates should be used where necessary to ensure the base plates are firmly supported by the
columns. Use the shim plates to fill any gaps between the base plate and the compression weldment.
(See Figure 15A.) Attach the base stiffener to the stiffener column and compression weldment with
5/8" x 2-3/4" bolts (two (2) per stiffener). Place a washer on the top side of the stiffener base plate.
