wood joists on top of an existing concrete wall
(OP)
Does anyone know a good way to attach a wood floor joist to an existing concrete wall? The joist sits on top of the wall. I looked in the Simpson catalog, and I couldn't find anything that was applicable. Would simply bolting a sill plate into the wall work, and the joist would just nail into the sill? Thanks!

If you want more attachment from joist to sill than toenails, Simpson (or whoever) makes lots of little utility clips for such things.
But yes, bolting a pressure treated sill to the top of the wall and sitting the joists on it is the typical way to make the connection.
