How to Connect Sloped Steel Roof Decking to Masonry Wall?
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a 5:12 sloped steel decking roof that's to be connected to a concrete masonry wall, but I'm not sure how to connect it. All the standardized literature I can find is for either flat roofs, or for connecting the decking to parallel beams.
Help me Eng-Tips Forums, you're my only hope.

Normally, you get the steel decking as close as you can to the CMU, considering its slope and the CMU coursing, and attach a bent plate to a series of embeds (or one continuous embed) in the CMU. The top "flange" of the bent plate is bent to match the roof angle. Then the roof deck is welded or mechanically attached to the bent plate.

Has anyone actually implemented this connection?

HAHAHA. That's awesome, I wonder what they say about >270 degree bends

I was picturing the angle being attached to the roof from the inside, so that the roof would rest on top of it, but I believe you're talking about attaching it to the outside of the roof and the vertical facing of the wall. Your description makes much more sense to me.
