wood floor trusses to exterior bearing wall
(OP)
Looking at 2 story 8" cmu structure to have wood floor & roof trusses. Floor trusses likely be 24"+/- depth. Interested in opinions/reccomendations on detailing floor truss connection to wall i.e. top bearing, bottom bearing, hanger, ledger, pocket, moisture break, cmu bond beam verse cip beam...Also I recall reading limitations of wood framed diaphragms in combination with masonry walls? any thoughts on this...?

We don't do masonry walls with wood floors here (Manitoba) it's usually either CMU walls and hollowcore, or all framed as wood especially at 2 stories. However we are in a "non-seismic" zone.

You may be thinking of the special requirements for out of plane attachment? This is covered in section 12.11 of ASCE 7-05.
