Hi maybe some one can advice please
Steal colum to short by by 40mm and I beam not touching level can I insert metal plate exact same measurements with holes for the bolts ?

silly question but.....cant you pack the bottom?

 

[Don777]

No as it will be to high and the bolt will be way up above flooring

It looks like the beam is lower than the joists and needs to be higher -so the OP wants to stick in a spacer

Lower the ceiling. Buy a new post. Weld 50mm of new post into the middle of that post.

It's a column with a beam on top, honestly, I used to respect you.

It’s now max to the floor level

 

[mattylad]

What's that even mean?

 

[Don777]

Post bolts up to the floor level

He means even raising the base as high as possible so as to avoid the studs poking out the screed it's still 40mm too short.

The solutions have already been posted in the thread.

Yes, but you'd need to get a piece of 40mm thick steel (?) with slightly over-sized holes.
Or a couple of 20mm thick pieces.
