LVL Beam to Short

[Steve Hanson]

Lvl beam was cut roughly 1-1/4 inches to short. The LVL beam runs perpendicular to a steel beam and is attached to the steel beam via a ledger board. The LVL beam run about 8 feet long and connected to the sub floor with the appropriate engineered nails. One side of the LVL is attached to floor joists via hangers. The other side of the lvl has floor joists with blocking. One side of the lvl is connected by hanger to wood beam running perpendicular to the lvl (this connection is fine and is flush to the other wood beam) I have attached a photo which shows the lvl in hanger with the 1-1/4 inch gap.

Questions.

1. Can I leave this as is and be ok?
2. What other options for repair exist without removing and replacing the lvl? I don't want to remove flooring and drywall to make the repair.
3. As an option, could I remove the subfloor from above and run 2d nails into end of lvl and ledger board and fill void with an engineered epoxy structural adhesive? This would fill void and not allow beam to slide towards steel beam and help to keep connected. Picture attached below.

That does not look like 1 1/4" short to me - look like 1/2" . How is the hanger attached to the I-beam? Was the eccentric load ever checked on the I-beam?
This is a hard thing to fix.
Maybe weld a long flag plate to the I-beam and bolt it to the LVL to resolve the eccentricity.

Can you temporarily support the LVL, remove the hanger, provide a new ledger/nailer to fill the gap, then reattach the hanger?

Or do the same but use a top mount connector instead?

Or two steel angles (one to either side) with thru bolts at the LVL and thru the wood ledger/nailer and beam web?

As noted above, be careful with the eccentric load.
