Where can I find standard details for the following roof-to-wall connections:
1. Steel bar joist bearing on CMU wall. Question: Should the embedded steel bearing plate in the masonry be flush with the top of CMU, or should the top of plate be slightly above the CMU so that the joist bearing is completely on the steel, not on the CMU?
2. Steel roof deck diaphragm connection to non-loadbearing steel stud wall sheathed with OSB. The steel joists run parallel to this wall and I need to connect the diaphragm to this wall, as this wall is one of the main shear walls of the building. One twist: the steel joists are sloping at 1/2" per ft., while the top of wall is held horizontal.
