CMU to Wide Flange Beam Connection Detail

CMU to Wide Flange Beam Connection Detail

CMU to Wide Flange Beam Connection Detail

(OP)
Wondering if anyone could describe or point me in the direction of a detail for the connection of the top of a CMU wall to the bottom flange of a wide flange steel beam. The beam and the wall are running in the same direction. The centerline of the wall and the the beam web would be in the same plane (the beam is directly above the top of the wall, running in the same direction). Need to determine how to make the connection.
Is there some sort of a masonry clip that can be cast into the top of the wall then welded or bolted to the beam? Would need to use the wall as part of the lateral resisting system for the building. Don't want to reinvent the wheel here, just wondering if anyone knows of a common detail that is used for this instance? Any help is much appreciated! Attached is a quick drawing.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
