Using epoxy to bond beam to concrete pier
It would be better to support he wood with a Simpson anchor that
will always allow the wood to dry out. If water can get to the
wood where it sits on the concrete/epoxy it will have trouble
eventually, even if it is pressure treated.

Anyone heard of using epoxy cement to bond a pressure treated
beam to
a concrete pier? I'm considering using epoxy to fill a 1/16 -
1/8 gap
between a 4x6 pt beam and a intermediate concrete pier. The beam
is
connected on each end using conventional beam hangers, and
merely
rests upon the pier midway.
The beam is part of a deck frame and I'm concerned about
squeaking. I
think epoxy will prevent beam flexing.
Thanks!
