Hi

I have a warehouse 100'x100' with perimeter moment frames. it is a 37' high structure. I have joists at 11'. the roof deck needs to transfer force to the perimeter frame. the exterior masonry wall is connected to the bottom flange of the exterior W27. how do I transfer force from bottom flange to he roof deck?

the force is approx .25k/ft
