I need ideas for a detail to transfer diaphragm shear from a steel roof deck into a gable end CMU wall. The deck will sit on open web steel joists running parallel to the gable end wall, so it will be 4 to 8 inches higher than the top of the wall.
I was thinking of something like this sketch (attached), but it seems like the sloped anchors would be hard keep in place unless they were fastened to the plate, but then how do they place the grout with the plate in the way. Also, the sloped anchors would tend to get in the way of the CMU webs from time to time. I suppose they can just knock those out.
Is there an easier way to do this?
