About this detail

This structural detail shows a concrete masonry unit wall running parallel to a steel roof deck. The masonry wall includes a top bond beam with reinforcing bars and extends up past structural channels. Steel channel sections, either C5x6.7 at eight-inch masonry or C5x9 at twelve-inch masonry, are placed on each side of the masonry wall with a maximum span of eight feet. A typical top-of-wall gap is provided beneath the steel roof joist or wide flange beam, filled with a compressible fire-rated filler as required.
