W shape on masonry wall detail
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a detail where the w-shape beam seats on masonry wall. How it is connected to wall and how to build a parapet around it?
Also this beam has 1.57 degree slope how this can be detailed on top of wall? I appreciate if anyone has a detail
Most books have detail for joist on top of cmu wall not regular I beam on top of wall.
I appreciate any help.
Regards,
BFstr

May I have your opinion about the detail that one of the designers came up with at proposed to me?
What problems might this detail create? Is the coping reduce strength of beam or other possible effects that might have?
I appreciate direction and opinion from senior people.
Regards,
BFstr.

BAretired (Structural), I forgot to ask you why did you use vertical stiffener at the end of beam, is it due to web crippling possibility? or due to having a sloped beam?
Thanks.

The gusset plate on my detail was to resist web crippling, something I prefer to use without bothering to do the calculation. In reality, it may not be needed.
