Simple Joist Bearing Question
Simple Joist Bearing Question
(OP)
In masonry construction, I have been told it is common practice to slope the bearing plates for joists using grout. (Allowing the joist to slope the typical 1/4 in/ft +/- and also providing a flat surface for them to bear on.)
It makes sense to me, yet I can't find any documentation to prove the "rumor" I have heard. I glanced throught the NCMA TEK notes and came up empty. Does anyone know where I can find something?

Steeper roof pitch such as 4:12 etc are different, however.
