Steel Beam to Precast Panel Connection

I have this 410 UB Roof Beam that is supported by the 150 concrete panel which stops at the mid-depth of the steel beam as shown below. Can anyone please give some advice on what connection I can use here? The design shear force is 60kN.
Thank you.

You can have a cast in plate on the face of the panel and weld a clip angle connection between the beam and the precast, or you can remove the lower flange and part of the web from the W beam and have a bearing connection on the top of the panel with a cast in bearing plate/anchors. The bearing connection may be easier and faster (usually less costly). Force is relatively small, so can likely use a clip angle if you need to.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Thank you. I will go for option 2 then. Just wondering what to do with the bottom side of the steel beam after cutting the bottom flange and web? Do I weld a plate under to the remaining web? Any other stiffeners needed?
 
your load is small, I would extend the bearing plate for 6 or 8 inches onto the web. Others may have a better solution; it's been decades since I was last involved with precast.

Could do a pocket in the wall and do a bearing plate, and then a seat on the beam. Reduce the ecc.
 
We do this a lot with a pocket detail and chemical anchors fixed through a bottom flange plate. The pocket is then shuttered and filled on site once the beam is in.
