Does the AISC have comments,restrictions etc on the limits of thickness etc. for Shim packer to be used in bolted joints? (friction type and non friction type)

dooron,

AISC allows finger shims, up to 1/4" in thickness, in any type of connection, including slip-critical connections. Anything over 1/4" must be extended outside the margins of the connection and fillet welded to the base metal section.
