(RE: joist to beam conn). I cannot transmit any wind forces(perp)to the supporting beam. I do need to transmit gravity loads. Sortof a "lean-to" frame. I would like to know is there a material to install between the joist seat and the beam flange to give it a true slip connection?
Thank you.
 
I always used Teflon under my joists, joist girders and beams where sliding is required. I provide steel bearing plate, Teflon pad and provide slotted holes to accommodate your movement.

I hope this helps.
