We usually weld 3/4" dia. headed steel studs (6" long)to the top flange and grout solid the bottom 3 courses of cmu. In addition, you could also provide steel angles welded to the top flange to maintain alignment at the bottom of the wall. Good luck.

You can also use deformed bar anchors as made by Nelson.

- Can the loads on the wall cause the beam to twist or bend in the out of plane direction?
- Is the wall cantilevered or is it braced at the top?
