international standard or code.
as i see that shim plates anyway will be embedded under grouting and not exposed to air and rust, and in my previous projects i`ve never used galvanized shims under galvanized structures.

from metallurgical point of view .. "black steel in contact with galvanized steel embedded under grout" is there any probability to rust.

Ref: AISC Steel Const. Manual 13th Ed., Table 2-6 : If base metal is galvanized steel and fastener metal is steel or cast iron,
then the corrosion of the galvanized base metal is marginally increased by the fastener.

A little off topic.... and this may be a matter of interpretation, but I seem to remember ASCE24 having some requirements for galvanizing steel structures exposed to flood conditions.
