Abstract
Abstract A system for securing an I-beam of a building to a support pier. The bottom horizontal flange of the I-beam is secured between a support and L-shaped clamp. The support includes a horizontal base whose top surface is juxtaposed with the bottom surface of the I-beam horizontal flange. A vertical jack screw extends from the top of the pier and is secured to the bottom surface of the horizontal base of the support. A clamp has a horizontal arm whose bottom surface is adjacent the top surface of the I-beam horizontal flange. The support is adjustably secured to the clamp for preventing movement of the I-beam with respect to the pier.

A system for securing an I-beam of a building to a support pier comprising: means for securing the bottom horizontal flange of said I-beam between a support and a L-shaped clamp, said I-beam having a pair of horizontal flanges interconnected by a vertical web; said support including a horizontal base whose top surface is juxtaposed with the bottom surface of said I-beam horizontal flange, said horizontal base having a U-shaped end into which one edge of said I-beam horizontal flange is fitted; a vertical jack screw extending from the top of the pier and being secured to the bottom surface of said horizontal base; said L-shaped clamp having a horizontal arm whose bottom surface is positioned adjacent to the top surface of said I-beam bottom horizontal flange, the free end of said horizontal arm abutting the I-beam vertical web; and means for adjustably securing said support to said clamp for preventing movement of said I-beam with respect to said pier, said support and said L-shaped clamp each containing a vertical member formed in parallel planes with respect to each other adjustably movable with respect to each other in both, said parallel planes and in a plane perpendicular to said parallel planes for enabling the system to compensate for differences in the dimensions of said I-beam.
