Hi all,
I was wondering if we have a steel W-shape collector(edge beam of roof) that transfers to a CMU bond beam corner. How would we design/detail it? My thought is the typical steel plate with studs into a bond beam and weld the collector onto the plate. So if it's 10kips horizontal load, we just need to make sure that bond beam connection can handle that load.
This is at a roof diaphragm and the masonry wall is acting as a shear wall. Also, This is a SDC B building. Anything else I should look into when designing these type of connection.
EDIT: (I didn't show the rebars in the bond beam.) should I hook them?
THANKS!
