Good Morning and hope everyone had a good weekend.
Contractor has requested if a design detail can be developed to attach overhang truss pieces to a tall wall 10" thick coreslab. I've attached pictures below for reference. This is in a high snow load area in the Niagara region so snow drift will be an issue to consider.
Question regarding connecting truss pieces to a coreslab. I was thinking of using two angles top bottom - bottom angle providing bearing and attached to slab , top angle is abit more tricky in terms of connecting top of truss to angle, any suggestions ? perhaps screws top-down from angle to truss? Re Connecting angle to coreslab perhaps using butterfly type anchors ?
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you for your help.
